Irene should move more west today..but it wont mean much cause she was
suppose to be moving west the past few days. Reason she will move west
is cause of the trough digging down off the SE U.S. and backing into florida
carving a thin ridge to extend SW. It usually happens with strong hurricanes
just before a turn into a trough.

Think of holding your hand and making a fist.... (that is your ridge)

Then take your index finger and point it at a 225dg angle .... that is a
narrow ridge that gets more heat infront of the trough as it digs. It's
kinda my own explanation of west jogs infront of the pull northward.

Anyways you should continue to see a more west movement today
maybe around 280dg then the turn tonight-Weds more NW up the bahama
chain.
