Usually they are fish storms but sometimes...

I have been seeing some other stats too regarding the slow movement and how it could potentially be a "slowest mover on record" once it gets above 40N (usually these storms accelerate as they feel the effects or get caught in the northern jetstream, but this one is expected to continue with a slower than normal forward motion - it's moving at 7 mph at the moment).
