Northern jog?
Looking at the latest IR, seems like Katrina has stalled or even jogged a bit north. Having lived in So. Fl for 30 years in 14 out of 15 storms the locals mets and the NHC always have a storm diving SW as it approaches the coast. You think they would have learned by now. I didn’t board up and I hope from a purely selfish perspecitve that the NHC is right. I know that due to ocean currents and being in the northern hemisphere that storm naturally want to recurve NE. Up here in Northern Palm Beach county we have had enough of downed tree limbs, 7 day power outages and endless cleanup. Let's all blow real hard eastward and make this baby a fish!

unfortunately not going to be a fish. and i too see a stall and maybe a slight N 
wobble Seriously though this is not the place where you want to see a stall. Eventhough Frances stalled in the same basic area and didn't "blow-up" as i understand it Katrina has better atmoshperic conditions inwhich to develop than Frances. Anybody think we will see a Nward drift per the old wives tale about storms in the gulf stream drifting with the N current

Due west is 270...275 is slightly north of due west
Look at the loop below and it still looks like slight south of due west motion.
You can even see the beginnings of a possible eye future.
