Moving WSW?

#1 Postby dhweather » Tue Jul 19, 2005 6:17 pm

Watching the Brownsville radar loop, it appears that Emily is moving WSW now, with a SW jog in the last frame!

Yeah, at the very least it is a southern wobble.

You are certainly not seeing things...it did jog SW. Sure it's temporary but it did do it. I was waiting on someone else to notice too. :lol:

Looks like she may be trying to make a little loop. She's moving almost south now.

After watching numerous hurricane tracks and being a uninformed watcher at that - I've seen historical tracks where hurricanes do loops and twists and I have often wondered if those were ever forecast. I can pull of tracks from historical data, but does anyone know if there is an actual written forecast that predicted a loop east, back to the west, a little south and then north for example??

Just curious!

THAT WAS MORE THAN A WOBBLE..... DEFINATELY A SW MOVE... think the Brownsville bump sticking out there through her a curve and now the coastline is influencing her direction

thanks. Guess I'll chalk it up to "loops happen".
