Re: Current motion

The extra data should help the model forecasts in the short term. It will also help the hand analysis of the human forecasters at NHC, which is a big part of the short-term official forecasts.

Long term, the extra data probably won't help much, since the features that will eventually be affecting (or passing by) Ike are still a long ways away.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
