WSW...DUE WEST or NWN???
There is enough speculation to Frances's direction...It's time for a Poll. This is driving me almost as crazy as Frances's crawl to land! Do you think Frances is going WSW, NWN or Due West?

A look at a second radar shows what happened. You are not looking at the eye there, you are looking at the upper eye cloud circle at a higher level.
When the storm hit land it weakened. This part of the eye swung WSW because it was pushed that way by the winds at that level. The main surface eye is under the core clouds on the NE edge of the "eye"...
One might say: "How can it not be turning WSW, I see it with my own eyes."
The answer is the whole core wall is tilted to the SW...

Thank you Sanibel! You have been a great comfort to me on this board. I know how much you have bee nthrough with Charley just passing, and yet you are still calm, cool, and collective!

OK, I'm bored. If the NHC's last 3 positions are correct:
5 EST - 26:54N 79:18W
11 EST - 27:06N 79:42W
1 EST - 27:12N 80:12W (Intermediate advisory)
then:
1) The cane has moved .3 degrees north and .9 degrees west. That's WNW.
2) Between 5 and 11, the cane moved at an average speed of 4.5 MPH (28 miles). From 11 to 1 o'clock, it moved 32 miles. That's an average speed of 16 MPH.
