NRL Sat loops IMPRESSIVE

Go to the NRL site and watch the last 90 minutes of vis sat pixs, it is an amazing show... explosive convection in the eastern half of the storm.. the eye still appears to be heading in a general NW direction, wobbles north, then west... like climbing stairs.... if anything it might hint of a couple of degrees north of northwest in motion, but that's just speculation looking at the sat loops... the Cuba's Isle of Yutes is going to get devastated .... soon

The NHC has been right on thus far with Charley who has behaved himself quite well relative to track and motion, except for the intensity part... I expect the interaction with the islands to at least inhibit the intensity level for a while... won't take much to regain what he lost once he gets back into the GOM... Boy, I feel sorry for someone if this trend continues.... things can certainly change.... but that doesn't look to be on the horizon with this one...

Good Luck to all the Florida residents who is in this bad boys path....
