Something more to add, in front of 99L is a lot of dry air. Poor 99L, it seems Franklin is still not in the horizon!

Yeah - we all want to catch the NHC in an error...but you know, I am not sure they are ever going to make a "track" error again. I think those days are long past.

Were you around for Cindy just a couple of weeks ago? :wink:

Also... I zoomed in on Emily and it looks like her center went just a slight bit north of the forecasted point. Not a big difference really though.

Well, technically you may be right, but in the end, unless it is a significant difference from the exact point of forecasted points it won't mean a whole lot. Over time they tend to iron themselves out.

Most of the time, Westerlies act as shear disrupting the strength of the
system, not so much the direction.

Yes, very true.

As I said when he posted it on a different thread, its a shear producer, not track changer. Don't worry too much about it.
