Re: Category 5 Hurricane Katrina Moving Westward in the Gulf

Reposting from the last thread so my post actually gets read....

I'm only saying this because I learned it with Katrina and not everyone may remember it.... the motion that the NHC gives is a 6-hour average. So, in the past 6 hours, the storm moved 0.1N, 0.9W, which is essentially due west. This type of binning of data averages out small wobbles and focuses more on true, long-term motion.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
