Re: Hurricane Rita Tracking West Northwest in the Gulf

I noticed on the recent satellite loop that the eye took a distinct west (actually a tad south of west) jog right at the end. ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS? This movement did not look like a wobble. There had been some speculation that the high might actually strengthen and rebuild westward, thus moving landfall back toward Galveston / Freeport. But, if that jog has an actual south component to it, then one wonders where this storm will eventually make landfall.
