Gradual turn beginning?

#1 Postby Agua » Sun Sep 12, 2004 1:27 pm

A definite northward component to the movement, vis a' vis, the last 24 hours. By "northward", I don't mean 0 degrees, but a gradual turn. It's slightly west and south of the NHC track presently.

The "turn" has been forecast for days upon days now. Where and when it occurs will determine the landfall point for Ivan IMO.

To early to tell. We will have to wait and see if it is a trend. Appears to be more of a stair step.

If you watck the outer circle of the storm you see it. If you look at the eye it's harder to see. we'll need a couple hours to verify

I don't see what you are referring to, It looks like it is still heading WNW on the radar images. Please show us the link that :?: is guiding you in this .

You can see it on the NHC floater. You can track the storm there until landfall. Go to the NHC site, click on satellite imagery, and ivan is under floater one.

6 frames are needed to see if it is a wobble or a trend.

I see it going in the same direction as before, but there isnt much of a westward jog anymore.
