Thank you all for your help, apparently I came across this in a text about unusual huirricane tracks and it is so unusual it does not exist!
Back to Lili- if you take a look at latest vis sat and EYW radar, you'll see Lili has wobbled back to the west, hence 'smoothing' it's track show a pretty good 295-300 degree heading overall. This will change however, starting tonight through tomorrow (sometime in that timeframe) with a more northerly course.
Hint: look at the upper low in the west gulf on w/v .
