TPC acknowledges the NW movement, but moves track further west in 48 hours (near Lake Charles)...

At 4 PM CDT...the center of Hurricane Lili was located near latitude
22.7 north...longitude 85.0 west or about 55 miles...90 km...north
of Cabo San Antonio Cuba. This is also about 600 miles...965 km...
southeast of New Orleans Louisiana.

Lili is moving toward the northwest near 15 mph...24 km/hr...and
this general motion is expected to continue for the next 24 hours.
This motion should take the center away from western Cuba and into
the open Gulf of Mexico tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph...165 km/hr...with higher
gusts. This makes Lili a category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
hurricane scale. Additional strengthening is forecast during the
next 24 hours.
