Upon further review...

I was reading the last thread just a few minutes ago and I noticed that a few people were talking about the NW'erly motion that was taking place. Looks like that was just a wobble:

As you can see at the end of the loop, a more westerly jog has just taken place.

On to the next round of fun...the amplification that is currently moving eastward over the eastern US this evening.

It looks to me as if this amplification is going to be heading out the door overnight tonight. When you combine this with latest westerly jog, I am beginning to lose hope for a turn towards the NW. If this storm was still moving NW in the last few frames of the first loop I posted, then I would be a bit more optimistic for a turn.

It almost seems to me as if the storm is "correcting" itself; staying near the latest NHC track. Floridians, be prepared, regardless of what happens.
