Re: Reasoning behind more northerly movement

Quote:

Reasoning behind the northward motion and why it may not be a temporary wobble have been posted to the met. blogs. It has to do with the upper-level winds and the recent rapid intensification of the storm -- it is now feeling a different subset of upper-level winds since it is a deeper storm, winds which are moreso aiming towards the north than the northwest.




Kudos to you Clark! I think this verifies the northward track you and Ed Dunham have been talking about. I was knocked off the net earlier by a squall but thankfully it's restored. Indeed, I noticed the definite northward motion the last hour or so. I would expect due to the rapid deepening it would remain on this track for a while. In your mind, is there any chance of a N-NE movement or will it be north and then perhaps NW as Dennis approaches the coast?
