Due West and looking at you

[hicksta]

I dont know how you are getting W i see WNW.

[deltadog03]

its on the forecast points.....click them on...she did head due west for a bit...but, its right on the track....btw, i think she has slowed a bit

[Brent]

We'll know shortly from the NHC... 14.5 N 72.0 W at 2pm.

It needs to be at least 14.8 or 14.9 N to be WNW.

look at the eye.. its wnw seems to have slowed down

That's what I posted over an hour ago. Emily has slowed
down considerably and getting better organized again. What does it mean?

Means a big change in the end of her path if im correct.. if she slows it would allow the ridge to weaken more and more NW. correct me if im wrong

I don't think so... she's going south of the track which spells Mexico over and over again to me, oh and she still seems to be FLYING west. If she doesn't get back on track shortly, then the models are going to have to shift back southward. This is not looking like a Texas storm to me(although extreme South is still possible if it gets back on track, but only IF).

I'm not sold on that one bit when we are still talking 3 days or more out before a US landfall (If at all).

I'm not either... yet. But she's barrelling west right now.

As I said, if she doesn't get back on track in the next few hours, then some shifts are going to have be made in the projected path.

[deltadog03]

we can't start talking a landfall yet...thre is waaay too many ifs...here is another...what IF** she slows down, as someone asked before??

[Scorpion]

The Texans insist its moving WNW. Doesnt look that way on sat.

shes not going west.. go to WV and look at the loop look at the EYE its going wnw.. good lord

[deltadog03]

yeah, it jogged west a bit...i AGREE...but, its not anymore..in fact...it was north of the last point...NOW, its back on track...

Texan here, its heading between 275-280 over the past 6 hours.

Yeah, and so do the Floridians at the NHC. It may have jogged west, but look at visible and put a ruler across the center of Emily on your screen. It's clearly not due west. I don't give a rip what state I'm in.

finally

Latest images show that what you saw was a big wobble as the eye redeveloped. It's still moving to about 285 degrees.

OK, that makes so much more sense to me....

If you pull up the forecast points and the lat/long on the vis floater loop, you can see she does a little loopy thing, but her eye lands pretty squarely between two forecast points.... she may be going a little south of due west, I'm not sure, but she isn't more than a hair south of her forecast location. Take a look and see...

And really, enough with calling everyone "people I disagree with" already...its meanspirited and counterproductive....

[Brent]

For goodness sake... it is not worth arguing over.

[Brent]

Which will probably say west. lol

It does look west...I was just saying it wasn't due west. But whatever the case, just die already and we won't care where it goes!

[hicksta]
