A WEAK LOW PRES CENTER 1007 MB WAS NEAR 9N96W MOVING SLOWLY WWD.
Thanks. It seems WWD means Wind Wave Direction, or the direction in which (surface?) wind and waves are moving, as reported for example from a buoy like that displayed at http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42035. It seems WWD is recorded as being from 0 - 360 degrees and is reported as a compass point, e.g., SSW.
By comparing the movement of clouds visible in that area with the little red flags shown when the "HDW-low" box is clicked at http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/watl/loop-vis.html, the buoys (and/or vessels I suppose) nearest that latitude and longitude seem to be indicating (??) that the low pressure is rotating in a counter-clockwise pattern. Beyond that I don't see much else to help me understand what "MOVING SLOWLY WWD" might be saying. Again, thanks.
