Our local met..one of them Dennis Phillips from abc action news.. said "Henri appears to be drifting south" :o I am wondering if any one else can confirm this??? :roll:

Show me a satellite and I might be able to confirm it in someway shape or form...

I have to agree with both of you.. it looks like he's meandering to the South.. If he stays out there too long.. it will potentially allow for either strengthening or at least for some thunderstorms to reform around his center...

******* it Henri.. you're ugly.. Put some clothes on lol

It is a naked swirl dfriting south but no thunderstorms near it.

If it continues as a naked swirl without developing thunderstorms nothing will happen.

Henri is in a slow moving environment, so it has been meandering most of the afternoon. This southward drift would keep the center over water which may give more time to flare up thunderstorms around the center, before the expected ENE to NE turns.

I don't know what's making it drift south.. but it could be a bad thing.. It could mean it's changing course.. and the longer it sits out there.. the more chance it has of having thunderstorms re-fire around the center... Plus, if it were to get it's act together.. it could actually strengthen while it decides where to make landfall..

I think he's trying to decide whether he wants to go to tomorrow nights Devil Rays game or if he wants to skip it and go see a friend in Cedar Key lol..

Remember elena ! Henri is not done yet

Is there any chance this naked Henri could move back towards the west and make everyone scratch there heads or will the steering currents certainly take it across Florida?

I'm already scratching me head over Henri..LOL

It started this southward drift in the last few hours. It may be doing some sort of brief loop now before moving over Florida. This will make things even more interesting.

Are you saying that is is in the process of doing an anticyclonic loop?

Maybe this is the feature in the models south of LA in a few days :roll:

Excellent loop Chad! Channel 2 is the next best thing to visible.

Even though the center remains over water, it's pretty unlikely that Henri will do much. Lots of shear right now ripping the circulation apart.

The erratic movement is probably evidence of a shallow (and weak) circulation. As a result, Henri is influenced by lower level steering winds right now which are light. If Henri were any stronger and had a deeper or more vertically stacked circulation, he would probably be tracking east-northeast at a pretty good pace.

Tropical systems are always interesting to watch, I guess...even the weaker ones.
