Ummm...
Appears that Fabian has restructured and after forming a CDO feature, now the eye is forming...probably may move 280 or even possibly due west for a time. The Anticyclone over Fabian is expanding and further strengthening is anticipated.
NHC noted the WNW jog due to the transitioning from banding features to a CDO in the 8:05 discussion tonight.
Right now, it is absolutely too early to tell if Fabian is an EC threat or not.

Agree SF it is not moving 290 as Lawrence said but maybe he was caught in a wobble at the time he was going to type the advisory.
