bad wind blowin' north?

agreed with the NHC on the position...its moving NW. @ 13 and should make landfall within the hour




Um, though I too might typically err on the side of caution, I cannot help but DISAGREE with NHC, and the 2:00a.m position. The attached link, is one of my favorite interactive satellite sites. Go to the 1KM pic of Fay, click on "high" resolution as a "still" or loop. I now have little doubt that we are not witnessing a tight mid level vort center, but that entire envelope is lifting northward. In fact, using the color enchanced IR, I do believe we may be witnessing a significant change to what I believe will be a very interesting 5:00a.m update and cyclone discussion.
