Disturbing West Trend

#1 Postby gk1 » Sun Aug 28, 2005 1:22 am

for SE LA. The past couple of hours show a more west trend than wnw. May be just a wopple, but will make a difference in the long run.

I'm fairly sure it's a wobble. But you're right. It will make a difference.

It's more than a wobble. She has been doing it since 10PM. 10PM location 25N 86.2 W. 1AM position 25.1N 86.8 W. I think it will make a big difference if it happens again later today or more this morning

I noticed the coordinates too.

Yet, the NHC didn't mention it.

Geeze...

I'm still watching at my locale, just in case.

That trough looks really weak right now. With Katrina being so strong, who knows what will happen. Maybe more west than expected?

Even a small shift in track to the west would put the brunt of the storm on NOLA.

Im truly concerned...with the power of Katrina and the trough appearing to be weaker than expected...we might have another Gilbert..which was predicted to turn north/ but never did.
