This whole system looks to be doing loop-d-loops heading in a generally NW direction - if you watch the eye, it's just bouncing around some other center that's moving along.
I'm noticing cloud tops starting to cool again now that we are moving toward night again.
Also, given that the 5pm mentioned microwave imagery, here you go:

Since you mentioned the NW general direction of the loop-d-loops, I'll throw my nickel in. It appears to my eyes that the loop-d-loops are gradually - VERY SLOWLY - turning more to the NW from W and WNW. In terms of cloud tops - the dreaded black is making a comeback. If that trend continues overnight, we MIGHT wake up to the strongest hurricane on record again.
