I hate to start another topic about Frances forward motion but to be
fair to the "WNW movers" I will.
Looks like Frances has gone back to more wnW course instead of
wnnw course. :)

There have been some awkward wobbles, most likely due to the eye trying to reform. As new convection blows up on the north side, it drags the eye to the left...the opposite happens when on the south side. Frances looks similar to the way she did two nights ago - if the convection organizes like it did then, we'll have a strong Cat 4 tomorrow with a large eye. It looks to me like the outer eyewall is taking over now as well.

There is nothing I would like better... as one who currently has the projected landfall right on top of my house in Brevard County, than to see this thing do a "Floyd" and allow us to watch it go by 200 miles out to see. I just don't see any mechanism to make that happen. Maybe the anticipated drop-out of steering currents (making for a 24 hour trek from Melbourne to Ocala Florida) is driving the models cybernetically insane!
