I also see a slight NW movement. Another good radar image can be found at intellicast...http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalWide.asp?loc=kmia&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=RadarImagery&product=JavaLoop&prodnav=none. By the way, speaking of the NW movement, hasn't the latest GFS model shifted north? This IR satellite loop really shows a good WNW movement as opposed to due West...http://www.intellicast.com/Local/USLocalStd.asp?loc=kmia&seg=LocalWeather&prodgrp=SatelliteImagery&product=SatelliteLoop&prodnav=none
By the way, here is something surprising...that meteorologist for WSVN, Ferrel or whatever his name, said that a northward shift may occur with fluctuations in the positions of the ULL south of Cuba and if the ridge over Florida moves slightly to the north.
Last, the stronger a storm, the more likely it will exhibit a poleward motion, regardless of high pressure systems. High Pressure Smigh Pressure!
Now is the time we all need to shift attention to the radar, since it is more reliable than satellite imagery when tracking the center of a storm. I remember this especially for Katrina, before it made landfall in extreme northern Dade county. I remember seeing a large blob of convection near Grand Bahama Isle and I thought that Katrina would make landfall near Boca Raton after seeing the IR satellite. However, the radar indicated a WSW jog, which was later confirmed by the huge blob of convection also moving WSW.
