Those are great views of it.But unfortunatly you will lose it soon as it moves away from radar.

in the middle of that pic you will see a "bullseye" with line drawn radii expanding from it. the center of that "bullseye" is the marker that jschlitz has placed onto the picture several frames ago. compare the location of the center of circulation to the center of the picture/"bullseye" and you will see the movement is WSW.
the "bullseye" is almost more like a dart board and the marker is a very small red dot almost covered by the yellows of the radar

No, I've been periodically placing markers (see previous pages) in the center and turning on the range rings (you can do that in GRLEvel3). Then I use that marker as a reference point to see which direction it's going - so in the next image(s) the marker is no longer in the eye - but you can see how the storm has moved in relation to the previous center.
Now it's not 100% exact because it is a radar estimate and it doesn't take into consideration the curvature of the earth, but at that latitude, for all intents and purposes, if the storm in the next frame(s) is south of the marker, it's still drifting WSW.

I'm buttering her up b/c I have a feeling little sleep next few days. Very, very concerned this will be worse than anything we've seen in 2004 or 2005.
