Last 2 frames are showing a due west wobble with reflaring convection. This doesn't look good. I have the digital camera ready to take some cool pics though :)

Looks like westerly shear has weakened and the convection to the west side has increased. Yep, looked like a new eye trying to form further west to me.

Ed Rapport (NHC) had a conversation with the channel 7 weather reporter and told him that the NHC has started to observe a motion to the west, will need more investigation.

Does anyone know how far south is the new ridge or the shortwaave ridge?

Bryan Norcross is doing his top of the hour update and mentioned a similar thing, about perhaps an apparent bend more to the west.

I just found this board 2 days ago and have been lurking around....very interesting information here.

Looks like the parrot preserve on Abaco is getting hammered by the strong side of the storm. Derek mentioned that there was a high probability of Abaco getting hit the other night. It is not a probability any more..

re the bahamas, heard on chan 4 miami, that they have heard from every island in the bahamas except for san salvador, since it gave them a direct hit at cat 4. Hope everyone is ok there, looked scary on the satellite yesterday for them.

Bryan Norcross mentioned something to the effect that possibly the same SW shear that was weakening Frances was maybe causing the storm to wobble north more.Now that the shear has lessened the hurricane may want to bend to the west more because it does not have that force pushing on it anymore.

Thanks for the link, Frank!

I agree with you MIA_ canetrakker, with the shear lessening she appears to be pushing west...

If Frances is currently getting stronger wouldn't the coriolis effect come into play and force it more of a wnw to nw track? I know that didn't occur with andrew but with most storms I thought it did
