Emily continues holding together. Nearly symmetrical earlier last night Emily now appears more like a tadpole doing a U-turn. It appears the the two disturbances behind Emily are interfering with the Outflow Channel on the Northern side of Emily. IR satellite loop, through 0845Z indicates the systems east of Emily, may be pushing her toward the South American Coastline. 4 hours of satellite loop, shows that the distance between Emily and the coastline has dropped by nearly half. Taken into account the slight increase in the diameter of Emily's main circulation. The NWS Key West Area Forecast Discussion, from 0728Z/ 3:28 AM EDT, mentions that "The Official National Hurricane Center Forecast Track Of Tropical Storm Emily Has Shifted South For Four Consecutive Advisories". http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/EYW/AFDEYW.0507130728 Official NHC products on Tropical Storm Emily can be found on the Main Page.
