STILL South of west movement

I've been placing markers in my last few uploads, still moving south of due west, looks like the due west trajectory earlier was a wobble

I think areas farther west... Remember, the farther west it goes, the later the landfall will be. More time over water...

With this storm, more time over water might, to an EXTENT, be a good thing. Powerful hurricanes can't usually maintain Cat.4/5 status without slight fluctuations. Remember Dennis. If this thing reaches, say, 140/145 mph before landfall [as Ortt predicts], there might be room for fluctuations. Otherwise, we could be having a strengthening Cat.4 upon landfall.
