Watch that SW motion

The longer this thing moves SSW the greater the risk shifts West.

I believe all of the southward motion has ended. Last update had it .1S and .3W, and looking at radar it appears to be heading due west.

Next update at 7PM will tell us for sure.

Motion is West. Precise motion is near 262 degrees. Too close to W to be called WSW.

Storm is nowhere near SSW.

262 is WWSW. It's just south of due west. It's not WSW or SSW.

Every minute it moves south of west the track will shift west. All day it has been moving south of due west.
