The storm has taken such a huge return wobble west that I'm forced to edit my recurve comment due to embarrassment...


Perhaps I can make it up a little by commenting that this arc around Caicos will keep them under hurricane winds longer...

None of the models are forcasting south of Miami now and only 3 hit florida, 1 hits georgia, and 3 turn it up to north and south carolina.

Just a wobble...Looking at visible, you can easily see that Francis is now wobbling west..

The movement is still wnw...I dont see the forecasted NW turn anytime soon

Technically it is moving just west of NW so it is still WNW. Also this just may be a jog too..........you never know.

it is still technically wnw whoever it was that pointed that out, but it hasn't been gaining northward latitude at this speed for quite a while, if ever, that I recall.

Wild swing back west! I don't like this! This is erractic behavior typical of a deviator!


One thing I was right about. The upper outflow taking a "box-shape" a few hours ago was an unknown effect I've personally identified for storms that are about to deviate...

Probably island friction combined with wobble.


Still averaging WNW. Question is whether it is a straight track to the coast.

Caicos must have gotten raked by that core-wall...
