Someone posted a motion to the south and here at least is a tiny south position not a big deal but neverless interesting.From that 5 PM positon of 21.6n now it is at 21.5n.

Good eye!, those that caught a southern vector on the movement!

Don't think it's a Cat5 anymore...the red convective ring that previously surrounded the eye is no longer apparent. And the T numbers reflect that.

Will this southward movement even though slight would this effect the Global models as far as forcasting the remained of its life goes?

Cycloneye, I've beent thinking all afternoon she would do this. Let's see if it's a small trend.

Dr Lyons said last hour that the usual time for a cat 5 to remain such is 20 hours - with the longest on record being 60 hrs

I hope that its maxed out .

Unless it pulls a MITCH, a SW track would be VERY bad news Long range for U.S RIGHT?

Issy is probably beginning a slow weakening trend, if it doesnt bounce back up by this time tommorow then i would expect it to fall back to 130-140 mph over the coming days.
