You can see the center clearly, FWIW, here in this velocity mode of the radar:

Look where the grey colors and reddish colors meet with the greens, all representing changing wind directions and velocities. He is just offshore and kinda wobble-stalling before picking back up his main NW trek. Zoom and speed up the radar to see it well. This is just IMO!

Thank you for the link! It is much easier to see the center on that radar. One of these days, I will have to put in some time learning how to interpret all those raw satellite and radar images.

Looks like some heavy training bands are setting up shop over Houston. Not good IMO.

Re: ATL: BILL - Tropical Storm - Discussion
Houston area looks to me like they'll be very wet the next couple days> I don't see Bill getting much farther west and he has slowed down a little with forward speed down to 9 mph.

I think the NHC is being a little generous with the motion. Probably want to make sure it is not going to start moving faster before they say it is slower. If that makes any sense
