The long range link is more than an hour old..
You're looking at the same wobble you saw when you started this thread.

Ignore the long range at this point. It's not accurate. If you're following radar, you have to do it on short range or nexrad cycles. People were saying the same thing about Cindy when she was not moving as was apparent on the long range. Trust me on this one. Katrina may well be at her southernmost point since way before landfall north of Miami, FL. She's quite a bit south of the southern tip of Florida at this point. Also, remember the long ranges are running behind out of Key West. Additionally, there was a shift in the center with a point during the 21z hour that further warps the look. Check out the College of Dupage site linked above and look at at any of the 0.5-1.5 angles including mean velocity. You'll see that the center is farther south at the end of the current runs than it has been all day. That's quite surprising to me.

Do not keep posting comments about it and changing this title to even more misleading names. NNW? Thats a major longshot, even for the longrange which is notoriously devious anyway.
Play nice jkt...
People will sometimes cleary see what is not there sometimes. All we can do is post more accurate links. The very misleading post though is not right and may throw a bit of a scare into someone when it is not needed.
Boca and others that believe it is on a NNW course, look at the 24 loop image from the Key West radar at this site and you will see that Kat is moving on basically a due west motion.

lol, thanks.
Just gets me mad that someone is using a 2+ hour old radar to track a storm on long range 248nm reflectivity. It makes no sense whatsoever to me.
My main issue is that the radar image is/was 2 hours old. That should be enough to discredit it since its no longer valid.

I've been off line for about 3 1/2 hours. I've read alot to catch up. So ..... If this was just a wobble or even a slight movement what does that mean for the East Coast of Florida (Tampa)
Boca... Do you remember earlier you were talking about the trof? Do we still need to worry about that? Could Katrina keep going South then be pushed NE?
