I wobble to the sw ? Not to good .

[cwachal]

that is the area of flight level winds of 60 Knts or higher

Radar still looks due west to me.

If it doesn't change it's direction before the 11AM advisory, I see a Hurricane Warning for PR.

I think The Bahamas might be included in watches and warnings in that event.

Wouldn't be surprised to see watches go up soon for the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Yes, it looks like that direction.

It seems like NC might be the most at risk from a direct hit. I think as it's recurving SNE is a near miss, but people in eastern NC should keep a close eye on this storm, especially with the persistent west heading Earl is traveling

There's the eye.

It's too soon to say. When it starts making the northward turn the forecast track should narrow a bunch. You'll know more tomorrow.

You can see the eye starting to peak through there.

Looks like this is going to be a close call for you Cycloneye and all our friends in PR. Good luck!

It sure looks like it will miss the projected 2pm point to the south (turn on Trop Pts)

Stop quoting pictures. Either remove the IMG tags or delete them from your quotes please.

I think it's fairly steady 285* and should clip Anegada and miss Puerto Rico with the worst of the core.

You can see that sharp wobble southwards, but it could wobble back just as easily. If it's going to make this turn we should start seeing evidence of it in the next few hours.

Yes, please stay safe, especially around the San Juan area it looks like!

[HurrMark]

It looks nearly due west (maybe 280), but it's hard to gauge on just 41 minutes of radar. I think it is too far north now to be a direct hit on PR or the VI, although they are not out of the woods.

The NHC has been missing the forecast points to the south, which is a bit concerning...we would hope that this would reverse itself at some point.
