Quote:

Note: NHC storm movements are based on averages.
If the storm takes a quick jog left or right it is usually an hour or more before the change in direction is notable. It can be 3 to 6 hours before a change in direction is mentioned. Depending on the next Advisory time, Proximity to land and other variables.

Remember Charley.




Seems Dan when I was in school playing with numbers I use to get frustrated quite abit over there movement speed/directions I finally saw it was usually a 6hr average for the most part.In response to the movement it does look alittle S of W to me also but chucked it up to poor eyesight.I do Ed think she misses the next trop point to the S buy 1'.

That would be point @ 69.4W by 1'
