Clearly there has to be a typo... as if you look at the sats, the storm is moving and there is a most definite west component.

Regarding comment below.... all I am saying is the NHC has to be mistaken in one of those coordinates. From 5PM to 8PM the storm did not stay still (or only move 0.1N). I'm not obsessing over the sats, just pointing out that there is a mistake, which is clearly illustrated by the sats.
