Interesting blow up to the west of Cindy

There is an interesting blow up of convection to the west of Cindy's center.
Man if I didn't know any better it sure looks like it's moving "slightly" west of due north. But again it may just be my very tired eyes.

Your eyes do not deceive you - it's a nice little flareup in the western side.

Seems to me there's also not as much dry air on the west side as once was forecast. Could be a contributing factor. But, I've not looked at any water vapor imagery - just seems there's some cloudiness to the west being pulled in.

Nice satellite loop, but it's hard to tell direction of an eyeless storm using it. It's a good thing this thing is getting close to shore, cause it looks like Cindy's getting ready to rock.
