it may just be my eyes, but i think the ERC is over, or nearing the end and has moved the center a little more north than forecasted.... i haven't seen a recon report lately..... but i think the ERC moved the center north of forecasted track some.... this could just be a wobble though... i noticed in last hour new convection is flaring up on the SW side of what i think is the center...




On the last visible image there is also a "deepening" if you will (a depression in the clouds) near where the new eye appears to be forming, which is north of the old eye. You can even begin to see a "stadium effect" again, which is scary. Hopefully it is just a wobble - hurricanes DO wobble.
