Re: Hurricane Watches up For NC/VA, Warnings Later Today

Wow hes a big storm, wonder why the convection (white clouds) is so concentrated to the south east side of the center?

If you select animation and 6 frames then click on the hurricane it will loop a close up, on link above you can she he is going mostly north with a slight shift west on the last few frames

NHC has on their 2pm discussion that earl is moving north, however if you look at sat. pictures above, you can see that it has moved nnw, too on the last few frames. Why no mention of this?
