Re: east of where it should be by 60 miles

I have not seen the latest GFS runs, but previous runs were suggesting that Rita would move NW in the short-term, then resume a WNW motion for awhile, then turn back to the NW as it gets closer to the coast. Assuming the ridge over TX slides east as expected, that is the way you would expect the movement to play out. If the weakness persists, though, Rita will continue to move further north than expected.
