Re: AL MS LA

Yeah, if you track it over a period of time (I've been plotting it on graph paper) you'll see that its moving somewhat south of west - I don't know if I'd go so far as WSW, but that's more accurate than due west, so there you have it.

Big question is when does she start to turn. NHC says 24 hours on this track. If so, then I buy their latest guidance; it looks reasonable looking at the approaching trough, the surface low that's just off the tail of it, and the expected movement over the next 48-72 hours. If I see a north turn before then I will get a lot more concerned about the Pensacola/Ft. Walton/Destin area, although anything within 100nm east of the center is definitely NOT going to be good!
