A north track that Ivan has been on the past several hours is encouraging. As long as Ivan wobbles between NNW and N the Mississipi Coast should be on Ivan's weak side. The ridge to Ivans NW is holding stronger than expected. Still calling for landfall in Alabama or NW Florida.....MGC

It has happened several times in the last 48 to 72 hours (at least)... the ridge builds southwestward
then is influenced by Ivan, thus it move northeastward, builds in again, retreats, etc.

If you lool at the outer eye wall trying to form, the motion still looks NNW.

I dont know, his path seems very stair-steppy (is that a word? :lol:) to me ... at this stage every jog is important but Im not convinced that this means his path will be due north from here on out...

If I lived anywhere in that warning area, I would be heading for the hills regardless....

Fortunately people aren't taking chances in New Orleans - it's a 5 hour (at least) trip to Baton Rouge because of the gridlock. They have 1/2 going 10 and 1/2 going 12. All street level roads are as backed up - hotels are full in all directions and they were recommending that people keep driving to Texas . . .

Don't be...I still think it will move NW for a while before it is all over with. Maybe not for long...but I think once the high in LA moves north of it...it will jog NW.
