Check the long range from New Orleans, it shows what is happening.


Actually the long range out of Nawlins looks like a WSW jog the last few frames..;)

Interesting, but have to believe the NHC...

Watch the loop from the 3.5 degree scan - you can see the inner eyewall much better.

No wobble, no slowdown. Right up to the Tx\La border. Most of the eye will be onshore in La. And shortly.
