IR loop shows a wobble NW; radar shows just north of west. I'd trust the radar more at this point.

I think corpus is to far south. Probably around Matagorda-Freeport.
She has also slowed down so that should allow a more NW turn

You can toss a couple dozen of those into the trash before even looking at the model map. If models are known to be innacurate, there's no reason to include them.

WHy are their forecast that far South? Rita has slowed somewhat and the models are shifting East. Secondly, Rita is already North of her next forecast point.

I know that...you can toss more than a couple in the garbage. There are many sites you can go to in order to get the "important" models. I just wanted to post the spaghetti plot just for the hell of it.

The bams arent that great, but i do think the track will go more north before we are all done. Why? They had it forcasted at matagorda with the input of 15mph? SHe is now goin 12. Losing 3 miles an hour it adds up. She should be able to turn earlier. Guess we will have to see

Looking at radar, she's still right on the money.
