One possible swirl rotating SW off of Destin; another one almost due south of DeFuniak Springs rotating kinda NW toward the coast with some banding (almost looks like minichannels) and an overall heading of the system somewhere between NW and WNW on satellite.

I been looking at the vis sat loops, not any wind barbs... and its really hard to say exactly where it is going because I think there are multiple centers in this system at both the low and mid levels causing hate and discontent amongst the storm2k posters... hehe... when I have trouble finding a clear center I just view the overall cloud patterns...
the NHC said it would eventually take a more WNW course over the next 24 hours... I'd like to see about 60 mph winds on my house to see how it performs... I just got to be careful what I wish for..
