that would be 18 min to north, 39 min to west from last vortex (7:15, which had a wobble to the north), i.e. still a NW course overall.

Therefore, I see landfall on the western bank of the Mississippi. Unfortunately, that would bring Ivan's NE quadrant over New Orleans !
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

My prayers go out to everyone in Ivan's path and I do hope that Ivan will lose considerably in strength till then!!

Ok Earthstormfire it was doing a slight weaking earlier. But the dry air that was coming in from the southwest has cut off. The outflow has improved all together in all quads. In look at that central core...It is starting to get nice in round with deeper convection forming around it. The eye is looking good. Heck if I did not know better with that warm eddy it could very will get a little stronger... :grrr:

I understand there are "steering reasons" that validate the official NHC path, but can someone please explain how Ivan is supposed to follow that path when it appears to already be WEST of the projected path????

With the 4am being 87.8W and 26.1N, Ivan only needs to move 1.7W and 3.9N to landfall in the "nightmare location, which I believe is around 89.5W and 30.0N.

That would be movement ratio of 70% North and 30% West to landfall at the "straightline" path that Ivan showed us for a 6 hour period (SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING LINK I CREATED).

I am admittedly not met-savvy, but simple logic sometimes rules...

Where am I "off" here???
