Looks like on Melbourne radar that she is starting to move ene. Look at the last frame on the loop then look at the time of the still frame. http://radar.weather.gov/radar/latest/DS.p19r0/si.kmlb.shtml




In the absense of more information than a few radar images that are inconclusive, I have to disagree with you. It's looked like that before only to turn back to the SW a few hours later (net movement: ziltch). Actually what you are seeing is not the center moving but expanding one way or the other I think. The axis of rotation does not move at all in the radar loop, to my untrained eyes.
