this seems to the beginning of the track shifting right after each advisory, which is typical of alot of storms over the years.

Are you saying you think NHC should have had the track further right all along, or that they shouldn't shift it right?

No, I'm not an expert, I'm just saying the track has been mostly shifting right after each advisory for the past few days. This seems to be a common trend with alot of predicted storm tracks.

Not necessiarly... Remember, Katrina's initial and subsequent forecast tracks showed pensular FL, then Big Bend, then Panhandle, then Mobile, then New Orleans. All LEFT. But I agree, track "shifts" are certainly common-place, albeit not unexpected...

I think they are overcorrecting. I think landfall further west as they have been relying on the pressure ridges to steer this baby and now finding out may not be as influential as once thought. Anyone check out the pressure building in LA in last 3-6 hours?
