The storm moved 24.5 miles between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM Eastern. So, the average speed in one hour was 12.25 miles.

Results for 28.2N, 82.7W:
The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is located near 28.3N, 82.5W or about 11.4 miles (18.4 km) from your location. The estimated time of when the eye will be at that location is in about 13.4 hours. Be patient for the map to be generated below. (If you get a 'broken' image, try reload/refresh).

13.4 hours? LOL, try 3-4 hours.

11.4 miles of movement would be about an hour, if motion remains near 12 mph.

The turn is a wide one and clearly isn't moving North in a hurry. Radar still showing a slight north motion but this willl get into the Gulf. Could get up into Georgia East of Columbus.

We shall see if it gets into the GOM.. but as the NHC said.. if it does.. there won't be much strengthening...

And yes.. it is one slow turn...

The further West Jeanne moves the more and more it's looking like another hit for Western NC. Just my guess but I've been focusing on the projected track for days now and it's moved from the NC coastline to midstate at this point. We're still to the East but not by much. We don't need more mudslides and flooding although it was a long week last week without at least one day off work due to storms.
