Interesting that its heading was 280 earlier today and 295 now. If this data is true, its a pretty significant shift toward the NW.

Well, the date on this radar switches to July 6, which means its passed midnight over there....so fairly new (I would assume...perhaps im reading it wrong).

I don't know, I would like to have some rain but I really don't want the otehr stuff that goes along with a possibly major hurricane. But let me guess, it's going to Florida right ? :roll:

Towards the end of the forecast it has been shifted slightly to the right of the 5p.m. advisory.

Hate to agree, but it's true. Chance of this storm following that much of a Western path is slim to nothing. I believe the current path, which includes eastern Louisiana, is too far West.

This sucks. I told you people 3 months ago. I build my camp in Buras, and here come the storms. I swear, I have the worst luck.
don't panic yet :wink: 5 day forecast tracks are subject to large errors :wink:
