Also looks like he might have moved just a tad to the SW in this image.

Yes, a wobble to the south, but moving more west.

If you see the Water Vapor loops, it appear that there is a channel where the shear has relax. This Channel is between the Leewards and the storm, the shears go south after the westerlies passes PR and the Cold Front is still in higher latitudes.

So, I think that the route of less resistance and hostility for the storm is the west, and Nick may continue to the west for a while and possible a litlle stronger.

Banding?

I wouldn't exactly say Nick is "banding". Nor would I say Nick is getting better organized. For weak systems like this, you need to look at visible imagery. The circulation center is becoming more broad today. Convection is firing in only one locatin east of the center. I doubt that Nick has TS-force winds any longer. Certainly no TS-force winds near the center.
