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

Quote:

The Eye of Earl is covered up again, and the core isn't quite visible on long range radar, which makes it more difficult to tell, but I sincerely hope it begins a more due north/nne motion soon or it will make a direct landfall on the outer banks.
.. Although it appears to be heading more northerly now.





I noticed that 2 images one from hurricane floater and 1 from nasa has slightly different center positions, yet the time index on both images are the same 18:45 utc.. confusing to me
