Ivan moving wnw or not?

#1 Postby Stormcenter » Tue Sep 07, 2004 2:24 pm

O.K. time to start a Ivan movement thread.
I'm saying he's moving westward at 20mph even
though there is a SLIGHT hint of southward
component to his movement. I will NOT mention it
(O.K. so I did) :) and leave it at westward. :)

I saw the little southern jog mid-loop, but am seeing it more of a wnw direction towards Grenada, personally....

Looks due west for the last 4+ hours. Before that it was WNW for a bit.

West = 270 degrees...
Ivan is presently moving around 275 degrees on average calculating in all the wobbles, so just north of due west... IMO

Especially the last few frames....
Is it a wobble, or is it the start of a new course... the models are predicting it, so this is an important time.
