What do they use for "somewhat" accurate modelling? Looking at Rita, (and all the last ones) what drives the direction/path of a disturbance? Is it pushed by winds behind it, is it pulled to a low pressure area or what?

How can they do 5 day modelling on this stuff? How do they know where it will end up? (give or take a few hundred miles.)
