Thanks for the clarification regarding that graphic! So, is a shift closer to Galveston a track more northward? Did they indicate what the intensity would be set at? I have not seen a recon since the 899 one (which was originally 898) at 2309z which is 4 hours old now. Weren't they going to go to 3 hr fixes this afternoon?
Yes, that is a track shift slighly more east/north. I didn't hear what the intensity would be, but we will find out in a few minutes anyway.
We are due for a vortex...overdue in fact...I am not sure if there has been an equipment problem in the recon aircraft (which has happened a lot with this storm) or if the latest recons are being "held" until the advisory comes out...(oh, I forgot...NHC promised they didn't do that...LOL).
