As I watched this latest visible loop I am more
intrigue by the thunderstorm build up to the
NW of what I thought was the center.

Yeah after studying it more carefully I can clearly see the center spinning to the south and west of where most of the heavy showers/storms are. To my eye it still appears to be moving to the E or ENE.

Once again Houston has dodged another eventful rain event... We must have a huge dome over us or something to be blocking the storms... I am officially passing the "dome" for Florida for the next few years... :lol:

I agree. By the way I still think this future TD/TS is headed toward the LA. coastline. It also looks like it's trying to get better organized.

It is definitely moving now compared to anything that was talked about this morning in other threads and it is ENE imo. I don't even see a LA hit for this now, whatever it becomes. Not sure it will be a FL Big Bend area landfall like several models are suggesting, but do expect another probable FL landfall at this point somewhere along the panhandle area. Could possibly go in as far West as MS/AL if it continues its' apparent current speed and track which could get it to the coast sooner than the front coming down can influence it.

I guess you can come to your own conclusions
as to where it's going but the satellite images
don't lie. I think it's easy to make out where
the center is and where it's moving looking
at the attached visible loop, IMO.
