Re: The NHC forecast is only good for 3 day, after 72 hrs a sharp short wave will pick IKE up

Ike has taken a slight westerly jog, he's almost right back on track with the NHC path and more importantly, the entire eye is back over water.

I think the timing with the edge of the high pressure center that is going to be over the Western GOM and the trough that will be coming down from the US is going to determine if Ike goes straight into TX or has a N/NW turn before landfall.
