Look at the Arkansas Oklahoma border. The High is pushing NE/East as forecasted.

That might explain the WNW wobble

Overall yesterday night the NHC was barley south of freeport. Now its basicly on Matagorda. Im still thinking somewhere in between there.

Would this change the track any?

For Pete's sake, you can't make a call about what the high is doing from a water vapor satellite loop! You need to examine the upper air charts man.

The HP has not moved, its been parked over texas for 3 days. It does appear to be expanding in many directions though.

The high has not moved, it is still parked over west-central Tx. All your seeing is the flow around the high.

That high has to start moving for the forecasted track to verify. If it doesn't all future tracks come alot further southward.

I'm sorry. I thought you could uses the periphery of circulations on WV loops to get an idea of what a High is doing.

Well, I've been reading the pressures at locations all over Texas for the last 4 hrs. They were rising, but most locations are now steady or falling on the 11a.m. readings. I know this isn't long enough to tell yet, but there does seem to be a change beginning to take place.

Can someone provide links to the pressure charts? I would like to see this also.

Is this the correct chart? If so, click on the -3 and +3 hour buttons at the top. You can see the high is elongating to the NE. ]

If it's not the correct chart, please correct me.

Shes still going along wnw

Guys, it's WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON and it's not supposed to hit until SATURDAY MORNING. We had this same back and forth with Katrina on whether it'll turn or not and eventually it did. The NHC isn't stupid or inexperienced; if they say the high is going to move, there's a strong chance that it will move. It might not necessarily happen to the minute and second, but it will happen. It'll be devastating for whatever part hits it and it's looking more and more like the Freeport area.

Althought i agree we are so far out, im thinking about 20 miles north of matagorda

The noon central time pressures in Texas are falling all over the state.

This far out, or actually slightly less far out (In Time) Katrina was supposed to go into the Big Bend of FLA. Still many things could change, even though the NHC is very firm on their thinking at this time and they do know exactly what they are doing.
