Sanibel thinks WNW too now, I sure hope so for us here, but not for my sisters in Dunedin!

Don't you think that maybe the eye getting smaller and changing shapes makes it look a little more north than actually it has gone? If you look at close up radar, the northward movement is not as obvious. Just my observation..not an expert by any means.

Yup, but they're two ways to look at it! Stare at the center of the smaller eye it seems West, stare at the whole picture Northwest. My mind is going crazy, I give-up!

I'm looking off of KMLB radar in Melbourne. I see the northwesterd motion more obvious on radar. I guess it's just how different people's eyes work.

I don't see the smallest dent in the windfield to imply that some external force is pushing this sucker North. Lets call it a wobble until furthur evidence is presented.
