Wobble Watchers' Thread!!!

Alright, here is your chance to shine! (you guys would have done splendidly during Charlie and Katrina's landfall in South Florida) Report any deviations in the position and track of Rita and be sure to include proof and satellite imagery confirming your observations.

This may become one of the most important threads in the coming days as Rita makes up her mind where she will make landfall. As a rule of thumb, I have noticed that visible satellite imagery and radars are the best at detecting movement and position of a storm as opposed to using an infrared satellite loop.

Is Rita's NW movement a wobble or is it becoming a northerly trend? Or could it just be relocation of the center of circulation, or the merging of the LLC with MLC?

I agree that Visible and Radar loops give a better indication. Sometimes, bursts of convection on Infrared can be confusing to me.

A little bit of a northerly component seems to be taking place right now, but the water vapor shows the high which should be forcing it back w or wsw soon.

Figured I would bump this as wobble watching will make a difference to us here in the Keys and Dade and this way it will be confined to one thread :)

Yeah, now that the center is appearing to become clearer, will be easier to wobble watch.
