That "center" is just a guess as where to initialize the models. Earlier, the NHC was putting it sown at 10N when the energy was clearly welll north of that near 15N. The pressure is a little lower south of the DR/PR, but satellite indicates most of the wave's energy is north of the Caribbean. One thing looks clear, this is nowhere near a TD today, and it probably won't be anything but a wave for a few days.

The thing with those models is that they have had a right bias with this system the whole way through.
For example, as recently as the 00Z run (1), they were putting the latitude of the system at 12Z today between 18.2 and 18.7 North (with longitudes ranging from 67.8 to 68.5 West). For when the system crossed 68.8 West, the latitude range was even further north.
As mentioned earlier, the initialized position for the 12Z run was 17.7 North 68.8 West... so the best performers were about 40 nm to the right (too far north, not far enough west). If that kind of performance is reported with this run (i.e. the 'center' runs 40 nm to the left of the leftmost model) , then it won't be on a death-track (as far as land goes).

that is true and i noticed that as well. as long as it stays very weak it will take the more southern track.
