Put your curser point in the center of the eye and watch the loop, just north of west movement, no southerly componant at all!!

Also take a look at Henri, it too shows life !

I'd have to respectfully disagree with you- based soley on the overall storm movement. There's some nice development in size towards the south, and a sheering of the northern development that's been apparent most noticably in vapor loops.

The eye is also reforming and tightening through the loop you posted (spooky!) and while it might be tightening towards the north side of it, it can't really be judged as a northern movment when no other part of the storm is going north, and the overall movement is still due west.

My vote: Wobble.

I suspect it will move south but only by a small degree as the eye reenters in the storm in the relitive near future.

To me...it looks like she's heading due west. Great shot of her!
