I keep seeing this "heading west" thrown out there so is it actually or is it wobbling as storms do and not actually heading west or heading west "long enough/far enough" to make a difference to the track of Matthew? I feel like all this "heading west" isnt actually doing that but small wobbles insignificant to Matthews track but the people I disagree with & westcasters are seeing a "west heading" so they can complain how NHC was wrong & how Fl are going to be caught off guard
I don't think any of us are "-removed-" anything. We are merely watching the satellite presentation and movement, and how it is moving farther West than projected at this time on this date, and how that may affect the eventual track over parts of jamaica perhaps, Haiti and Cuba. When it emerges into the Bahamas, seems to me the ridge to the north ( and how strong it is at that time, or becomes soon after) will determine how close the storm comes to the East Coast, whether its Florida, or points farther North.
