The 12 hour position from the NHC 4pm advisory put Katrina at 24.9N and 86.8W. However, during the eyewall replacement cycle, Katrina stalled out temporarily and then kind of shunted northerly before jumping to the northwest (per visible sat imagery). She may resume a WNW motion or not and it's difficult to tell unless you're on the rapid site which I'm too tired to use for this post. But I've got Katrina (based on Goes 12 Visible zoom) at 21:15UTC a center fix at about 24.91N, 85.87W. That's approximaetly 1 degree farther east about to cross 25. Now I realize that this is old (43 minutes as I type this), but downstream implications assuming the track doesn't bend back to the west could possibly mean a greater threat to points east of SE LA than some might be willing to recognize.
Only time will tell, and by that time, I'll be sound asleep. So good luck and get your collective butts in gear for whatever else you need to get done.
