if you run this loop on medium zoom about 20 images you can see what appears to be a temporary wabble maybe even a little shift in the center but then a clear west motion there after...

Its probably stair-stepping Aric, it does look like its jogged back to the west again that evident NW movement, you can really the LLC get dragged up and then the deep convection develop around it, last image really makes the eye feature look good with the sun starting to go down.
ps, all time classic tennis I think!

Re: Tropical Storm Bertha in Central Atlantic
Sunset in 15 mins looks like for the match....
I agree the NHC 5pm discussion is going to be interesting. Then again...Bertha has been 'not normal' for quite a bit already.

Nadal won in a great match in five sets with rain delays.

1# It appears to be moving nearly due westward as of the last 3-4 frames.
2# There is a interesting feature on the visible, but that maybe just the midlevels being slightly sheared to the north of the lower levels?

Looks like she's trying to wrap and any recurve is not apparent right now. Looks pretty westerly.

I agree.

Yep Matt it does seem to have gone back to a more westerly direction after taking that WNW/NW track about 4-9hrs ago. As for the shear issue, its really tough to say, it looks pretty well co-located with the other levels but who knows!

Derek, yeah tell me about it, this system has gone against all the odds just to get here, 24.5C waters, some moderate SW shear, SAL being only a little bit to the north and west and yet here we are with what looks like a system well on the way to being a hurricane!
I'd guess probably 60kts now, can't be far from hurricane status I'd have thought.
