actually its more that random low that developed for a few runs over the the mississippi valley.. the intitial trend started with the trough lifting faster and irma slower ... then it was trough lifting and weaker, ridge stronger and irma faster at which time it didnt matter at that point .. then we saw the sharp tuen from the random low for the last 24 hours.. now thats gone and we have more west shift..
