It shows up already so you can follow the circulation.

It looks to be moving due west now....
is this the shift the NHC was referring too?
A little earlier than expected...

To my view of the radar it is not moving NNW at all but more westward.

Interesting that the leading edge of the convection is now only about 75 miles east of Fort Lauderdale, and moving westward. Assuming that the storm does begin moving westward, at it's current rate, would mean that the leading edge would be here this evening - much sooner than was earlier forecast, which would be a good thing, since it would shorten the intensification window considerably.

I think the center is located to the SE of the convective blob that is expanding west. Overall convection with the storm is expanding in the northern semi-circle (see SAT loop today) - that includes in a west, north, and east direction. If you look at the big circular mass, its still moving NW or N-NW. Look for the center to further consolidate today with deepening. Its hard to see the LLC now. Expect a major slowdown when this storm starts the west turn. It hasn't done so yet.

Should get a center visible within an hour. You can just make out the east quadrant southerly bands now. The thick west bands are blocking the surface image...

Not due west, but I will agree with you on the WNW.

It is clearly heading in a Westerly direction, and looks like a Broward County landfall.

Which bodes well for Dade, bad for Broward and bad for Palm Beach

I think that big eye on the SW tip of Abaco is the eye firmly appearing...

There is NO eye. Recon has yet to find winds ever near hurricane strength. What we are seeing is dry air interrupting the core and revealing the circulation as it dries the center, which NHC cited. Its not an eye.
