For intents and purposes, over the past few hours Melissa has been drifting southwest, although the 11PM NHC Advisory holds her track as westbound.

The longer Melissa tracks southwest, potentially the higher upside to her wind and downside to her minimum pressure, as conditions are even more favorable to the southwest of her presently already exceptionally favorable location for RI.

While this is not officially forecast and unlikely to persist for much longer, it is worth keeping an eye on. Such a development has been something I've considered possible for a while.
