Re: so what caused Felix to weaken?

The due west motion has resumed... so I assume the northward jog that flahurricane mentioned, which I saw too earlier, was just the eye reforming itself.

LoisCane: Slowing down, how? Forward motion, or sustained winds? I don't detect a slowdown in forward motion... in looks like it is zooming onward, in fact.





I am still seeing more northward component motion in the last frames. Yesterday someone mentioned the ridge stalling just behind Florida and not further, allowing Felix to miss Nicaragua/Hondoras and indeed reaching BOC.

Ukmet solution plots that path with some bias to the north from the official NHC one.

I do appreciate some comments about how strong is the ridge from here. I am in Cancun México on vacation with my notebook in the beach following this forum in order to leave or to stay.
