Looks like the WNW motion has started.

Isabel has been tracking wnw for the last 12 hours or so but's it's a long way from NW. Whether this is a wobble or not is too early to tell unless you have a crystal ball :-)

That's true MF.. It's just a wobble till it persists for quite a while.. If it begins showing up on consecutive NHC advisories as WNW.. then maybe we can begin to start sounding alarms for specific areas lol

viewing the last GOES IR loop system appears to me to be moving more in a WNW motion, not W....

NHC has done quite well so far.... system continues on the projected WNW track as revealed by the latest GOES IR loop IMO... she is stacked mighty fine right now... huge eye, great symmetry.... outflow good...might now get much better than it is right now... classic as well as historic...

last pix hinted of the eye tilting towards the NW.... a NW/SE tilt... maybe just a exaggerated wobble, or maybe indications that the minor northerly component we see now will perhaps continue or even accelerate .. but, it did the same thing yesterday all morning, had that NW/SE tilt.... and still went basically west...

just keep watching and reading... everyone regardless of where they are still has plenty of time to react if need be...
