Wobbles Thread

OK all you weeble wobble enthusiasts, here is the place to post your thoughts on movement a direction of Hurricane Katrina. If we could keep most of our wobble opinions in one thread it would help from people getting confused.

It seems like the storm is moving west to me, just as NHC says.
How many frames do you think it takes for a storm to be offically changing direction?

Which satellite view is the best for determining direction?

Essentially west still a bit south of 25N as it has been all morning. Need to go look at the 12z's. I think NHC had it crossing 25 around 87. So we'll have to see how that plays out for LA/MS/AL.

I have mixed a brew of tomato sauce, chicken liver, some grass from out in the yard, a wee bit of toliet water, (unused), and two drops of iodine, in the blender. I drank it, and when I fell down, I fell SLIGHTLY to the South of West...therefore, that is the motion in the ocean.

cheers,
loon

Opal storm

There has been NO movement towards the SW.On TWC you can see they have a line that shows the track of the eye and it has been moving due west if not just a tad bit wnw in a few frames but due west overall.The SW motion is over.

That's what I see too. Looking at the latest vis. floater loop, it looked like maybe a wobble nw, then back due west. Is that possibly a double eyewall coming into view?

That is absolutely a double eyewall. It's going to make it very difficult to if it's wobbling one way or another the next few hrs. When the inner eyewall collapses and the outer one starts to contract...watch out.

OK...was waiting to post this until I had hard core facts.

Just some advice for all the "IT'S MOVING WNW" crowd on why you guys need to NOT jump the gun on ONE wobble north or south....and not look at one frame for sat images.

URNT12 KNHC 271545
VORTEX DATA MESSAGE
A. 27/1514Z
B. 24 DEG 28 MIN N
85 DEG 06 MIN W

URNT12 KNHC 271725
VORTEX DATA MESSAGE
A. 27/1651Z
B. 24 DEG 22 MIN N
85 DEG 15 MIN W

It's actually moved south of west by 6 miles...west by about 10 miles.

Not moving WNW.
