I've always noticed in the past when tracking hurricanes that when the forward motion slows down, this usually indicates the beginning of a turn. The discussion mentioned that although the models have begun to turn to the west, that was probably due to the initialization of that westward movement and they believe that the NW turn will resume. I wonder if this is the beginning of that turn and that's why it's still listed as moving as NW and not WNW. If they don't change the motion in the next advisory, then that may be exactly what they are thinking. The local mets are saying that we ALL need to watch because sometimes when it moves over land it can disrupt the system and cause it to move. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what happens...what else is new? And yes, I KNOW that's he's had a more westward movement from 11pm to 8am, so please don't anyone yell at me.
