Ron, I checked the last 24 hours of movement. Did a quick calc to determine the angle from the sine value...heehee...***it is 285deg for the last 24 hours.*** edit--wrong! very close to 270deg. My mistake.

Another reason to want to see the 11pm and check those forecast points against the 5pm.

You know what'll be strange...seeing NHC increase the intensity forecast for the 12hr once again.

Do you realize this has been going on for about 36 hours now, and the rate of intensity increase has accelerated over most of the last 12 hour

EDIT -- Ron check again. I had plotted the 5pm and show crossing 25N at about 90.3W. It is interesting to plot the forecast points as they change slightly over time (ya gotta have a lot of different color pens).
