There are using the VAD at Key West NWS.
Showing maximum of 78kts at 300 ft at 0652Z.
My guess.

Not to sound too much like a science teacher (which I am) - New Scientist is NOT a peer reviewed journal...which means that pretty much any theory/idea/study can be published, whether it is a good or bad study.
I always view these kinds of articles with a great deal of skepticism.

back in the 60's. The Navy used to track and try to pinpoint hurricans using seismic activity. it was somewhat succseful but time consuming and impractical with the emergence of sat imagry and recon from planes.
Edit: You can read about it in the book "Hurricane Watch" by Bob sheets Former dir. of and Jack Williams and excuse my spelling lol there was also expirementations with hyrophones to track hurricanes same book.

Looks like he is about to shift gears. Convective band on northern side building up quickly.
Barely visible at 0600Z and now extends from near Homestead to near Ft Myers and then SSW halfway to the center.

The peer review process has become flawed. Advances in science require a willingness to "think outside the box" which the peer review process works against. Science also requires a skeptical attitude even to accepted ideas. the natural human tendency is to be overly skeptical of new ideas and too accepting of established ones. In climatology this tendency has resulted in climatologists wasting time talking about magical greenhouse gases and too little time on the real ways humans may be affecting climate including changing land use.
In this particular article it is very likeily that hurricanes produce sufficient force to impact the earth's crust.

News sources are not peer reviewed journals, but rather use articles in peer reviewed journals as basis for their articles.... Perhaps this one did not, as I don't recognize the .org link that shows the data, but frequently CNN/AP/whatever articles cite research published in Journal of Geophysical Research, etc. The goal is to explain the cutting edge research in layman's terms... sometimes this does mean a little of the science is incorrect, but generally, it works out for the best.

Motion is again appearing to have a more westerly component than straight NW...

I know no one want to hear this but has anyone seen on the models where they are picking up on another one behind 4 1/2 to 5 days out?

The upper-level high pressure ridge has weakened over Florida and the eastern Gulf, while a strong upper-level disturbance is diving into eastern Texas. This will help to maintain a weakness in the upper-level wind flow over the central Gulf, and will turn northward ahead of this weakness. If the Atlantic high pressure ridge fails to build farther west, could track close to the west coast of Florida Saturday. If the upper-level high pressure ridge builds stronger to the west, then will be diverted more toward Louisiana. We should know soon what will do.

so does that mean if the high pressure weakens, a turn to the NE or E?
And where did you find that info?

Yep..... A tropical wave located along 43 west is moving west at about 6 degrees longitude per day. Another tropical wave along 62 west, south of 20 north is moving west at about 6 degrees per day. Finally we have a wave along 28 west south of 18 north also moving west at 6 degrees longitude per day. We continue to see less shear than normal through the Caribbean and into the Atlantic. This combined with warmer than normal water temperatures and lower than normal average surface pressures could certainly help any of these tropical waves to develop but probably not within the next couple of days.
