24.7 87.0

NHC says..............

IVAN IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 10 MPH...AND THIS
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

The motion has been EXACTLY NNW the last 12 hours, 1.8/.9.

Extrapolate that out 24 hours and the storm is at 28.4 88.8

I don't like that one bit!!!!!

Take this with a grain of salt, but I sure liked .5N and .1W a lot better.

Yep - apparently it didn't quite make the turn which is now forecasted by some as happening after landfall.

But does this mean it could actually make landfall in New Orleans. I'm just beginning to relax and feel alot better, please tell me this is not the current senerio.

Lots of time left folks for it to turn and miss NO. That seems to be the consensus of the models. Check out the model map sticky.

Unfortunately this storm has most consistently gone west of most models throughout its lifespan.

That's true but I think he's got NE hook written all over him.
The models "MAY " actually get it right this time around.

Right now Ivan is pretty well on track from the 5PM advisory. All we can do now is watch for deviations...
