Also I find that if you're looking at the NOAA radar for your movement it can fool you because it updates every 30 minutes instead of every 15 like some of the others.

These storms stair-step when they get strong.

Still NW...

Forgot to mention that this site updates every 15 minutes and its clearly

1. Still Heading Northwest.

2. Going to pass North of Jamaica

Hopefully Dennis will continue going NW and tear its inner core apart on Eastern and Central Cubas Mountain Ranges.

Have a look-see...

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/wxman0071/Dennis.gif

...it's a high res time lapse of the last 3 hrs of NRL high-res images. Be forewarned, it's 5.0MB. Pretty apparent that Dennis is moving NW and not WNW.

I've been saving radar images from Gitmo since 300 AM. Have a neat loop built so far. I'll post it later if I get time.

To me, the movement is WNW until that last from, then it goes NW.
Maybe a jog, maybe a trend. We'll have to wait.

I know it has been moving NW for about 4 hours now, at least. When I watched our local CBS met at 8am, she mentioned that the NHC had the movement at NW, and it is still NW after 11am. So, to me, at least 4 hours in the same direction is more than a jog, but that's just my opinion.

Look at this, its a much smoother animation. You're trying to determine the movement of a wobbling storm with 30 minutes per frame.
