Re: Category II Charley takes aim at the Gulf Coast of Florida

Im not sure how ya'll are goin about tracking Charleys movement, but dont just look at a 1 hour loop. Try and loop it for 3 or 4 hours and look at the longer term general motion. I have found out in the past that the eye can expand, contract, wobble and everything else and give a false sense that a direction change has occured. IMO The general direction I've seen has been NNW. I wouldnt be to concerned with it now. Wait till after Charleys off Cube and out in the open Gulf. Then we should get a better idea of where hes going.
