NHC Track

Seems like Emily is on a true wnw path now; just as the NHC forecasted. We have to give them credit for the accuracy thus far. Seems like they have better accuracy with the stronger storms than with the weaker ones--such as Cindy!!

Your correct. they did predict a WNW turn, But the storm is now northeast of the projected path. But they are doing a great job

The track hasn't changed and with the high in place it won't. Look at the models and the track. They may shift left even more.

Have to disagree with you bud. Once she started to strengthen she's definitely north of the prior forcast point. That's not a good thing long range for the S Texas folks if this continues.

If the forecasted track holds ??? The islands of Jamaica and Caymans will be relieved of the brunt. The Yucatan will suffer to some extent and then old Mexico. If you had to
wish a track, this could be one of the most forgiving in terms of damage to populous. Hope it holds up!

When looking at the sat pics from 10pm I thought it was going more toward the N than the predicted path.
