It's actually been moving parallel to the Nicaragua coast, on a just west of due north direction. Don't be fooled by the direction the thunderstorms blowing up around the center.

Yep thats where the microwave warm spot was placed also had hints of a eyewal lforming on that southern side as well, good job landfall is probably not that far away...why do I get a feeling its RI at present?
Could well be a good bit higher then the 40kts estimated by the NHC, that looks more like high end tropical storm sort of structure to me!

Certainly is Derek esp given the low warning time they were given. SHIP models certainly have nailed the chances of RI though, because thats exactly what /alma is doing right now, as you say Derek 55kts looks a quite reasonable guess, I just hope it doesn't get even stronger then that because the eye looks nice anc compact.
Hopefully it takes a eastward jog and gets inland now because every hour over water is allowing it to strengthen.
