Re: Hurricane Frances Still on Track TD#9 forms in Eastern Atlantic

I'm sorry...they are adjusting the track back and forth and the info came in early from the NHC. They had listed the winds at 115mph on Channel 9; now they changed them to 130mph. Makes more sense now.

Rabbit...I think the reason they are still shifting the track to the west is because they don't expect that NW movement to continue or have a huge impact on the track. If it stalls - as is predicted - when it starts moving again it could be going W/WNW again, and that's the best explanation I can get out of my non-expert-on-weather brain waves. ;-)

I would expect it to change again. And agan. It's like watching a Tennis match. Only the stakes are higher.
