Those sats are dated. They also seemed to have taken off the forecast points for whatever reason.

Weird. I've used it before, but now it only shows:

County
Roads
LatLon
Wind
Severe Watch/Warn
MSLP(2)
Radar
NWS Fronts

Forecast points hasn't been there but sometimes if I refresh, they show up. Oh well. I'll take your word for it. Though the end of the loop is an hour and 15 minutes old. Storm still south of 25 across 85W.

Looks on track - only slightly north. Assuming this continues, does this mean the confidence in the track is increasing and that a landfall in N.O or thereabouts is more confident? I'm too confused this morning on what the general consensus is. Can somebody help me get things cleared up. NHC cone looks further west, therefore making me think Biloxi's potential for a hit is lessening... :double:
