O.K. I must say it. When you say headed East, it is not! Remember N/S/E/W are Lat/Long lines of degrees. Yes if you plot the forcasted track, the correct statement is that the actual position of Rita is East of intended track. Don't get people thinking that all of a sudden, Rita turned and is heading East now.



I was refering to the graphic I linked to. It is east of the predicted location (the red dot) by about the same margin that it has been east of the previous red dots.


But yes it is heading NW.
