Jog to the west last several frames

[Biloxi]

Will have to see if this jog last for more than 3 frames. This is what Joe B. was discussing in his 9 am forecast this morning. He is still calling for it to reach the Mouth of the Ms. River.

I have also noted the westward movement on radar.

[PTPatrick]

what strength is JB thinking?

[Wpwxguy]

Yep, west almost.

[Biloxi]

After looking at these radars for hours you sometimes start to question yourself.

I had to laugh at this one because I can't tell which way its moving anymore

[cajungal]

What we have to look for is a trend. If you keep looking at every wobble, it will drive you nuts! I tried looking at for 5 seconds and it drove me nuts!

I dunno..i see it but it only looks like a wobble..cause in the last frame you see it move kinda...north...or maybe its just me.

Biloxi,
Do you have a link to Joe B's forecast this am? The only thing I am finding is Friday's forecast.

Says that it will reach cat 3 but will start to weaken as it comes in. Still projects a cat 3 landfall - just not a cat 3 in the ramping up phase.

[Biloxi]

Just some of his thoughts: After analyzing the different actual positions and quoting the actual movements for each analyzed time period. Example Movement since yesterday morning advisory: 4.4 degrees north and 3.3 west which is around 305 degrees. Since yesterday midday 2.9 north and 3.3 west which is around 310 degrees since yesterday evening 1.4 north and 2.2 west which is 305 degrees and since late last night 1 north 1.2 west which is 310 degrees. Since the early morning position, the actual recon is .4 west, .1 north which would be 280 degrees. He believes that it will continue to track to the mouth of the MS. River as a cat 3. He stated that there is nothing evident at this point to make him change his mind. He has been saying this since Thursday. He also said that the storm surge could be very significant due to the angle that the hurricane would come in at. Compares this to Camille but worse angle for N.O. and Ms. Coast.

I thnk that was a jog to the West, but each time he does that, Mississippi's chances of landfall increases.

that pascagoula refinery is a mile from my parents

Last few frames on radar look NNW-N.

Wobble Wobble Wobble.

[Agua]

It looks like a wobble only, followed by a wobble to the NNW ... I think it's called "trachoidial" movement. So far, this morning, the NHC track has been pretty spot on. I think the storm was about 10 nm west of the track just before the 11 a.m. EDT advisory.

You live right near my grandparents, uncle and cousin. They live in Kiln, MS.

[skysummit]

It's only wobbles. It'll be doing that all day long. I still say Pascagoula. In order for it to hit the mouth of the River, it would have to travel in a straight line...maybe more westward actually. I don't think that's going to happen. If JB knows something special, I wish he would share.

[Biloxi]

Have to see which climb up the steps is most predominant. More west step or more north step? Thats the million dollar question.

[FWBHurricane]

Its moving alot more northward now...but for some reason i cant put the link to the radar on this post...oh well.

[hurricanedude]

ummmm.....dont see your west movement at all...NNW by NW
