What are the main steering factors with this system? It is obvious shear is giving it a ENE movement appearance, but the NHC discussions say N then evenutally NE. I live in Baton Rouge, LA and when I look outside I see the clouds racing to the NW. Is that a sign that this system could turn more north in time? Any Thoughts?

Dean I know where the LLCC is and it is in the same vicinity it has been since yesterday afternoon and even earllier. It was even becoming obvious on radar last night. At best at this time I see a meandering drift to the N or NNE. Eventually it will begin moving off to the NE, but IMHO it has not started yet, at least not more than a drift.

hardly nne, ne at best but the whole cloud mass is moving ene, first visible sat pics show center on extreme western end of convection. Of course there is shear that's why all the weather is east of the center, appranetly not enough to stop this huge convection.
