I hate staring at only a few frames of radar, but it does look like it has an easterly component.

Maybe I am seeing things, but I just zoomed in on the visible and slowed it way down and to me it looks as though the center has shifted a little westward. About due south of Houma, LA. instead of Grand Isle. Not saying it is moving NW or NNW but maybe jumped to the west a little. Still too far out on radar to get a good look.

Storms normally slow up a bit as they begin to make a turn, could this be happening? By the way, I just got back from Biloxi, MS today. Mike Seidel is outside of the casino I ate breakfest at this morning :lol: . I wish I could have stayed another day.

I thought that earlier, but then the dropzone said:

1915Z
27.7 North / 90.4 West
1000 millibars SLP
surface winds six knots from 135.

Then if you look at the Visible Loop, it's hard to tell. The NE turn is inevitable, but she mostly appears to be heading +/- 360 degrees on the visible loop:

But if you look at radar, there's a hint of an eastward component.

Like LA wxgal said Cindy is pretty much on target with the NHC's Path..Cindy Could in fact slide just east of Grand Isle staying Mostly over water through the Rigolets and Come ashore in Smiss (Remember Juan-'85?)...If she makes a More East Turn then who knows....I think the 4PM update will be critical in Nailing down her Next move!

As far as the radar is concerned, the center is definitely not moving west. Maybe slightly NNE.

Cindy's beginning to look a little more impressive on radar, especially NE of the LLC. That's where the 70 mph ship report was (NHC knocked it down to 60).

Look at a sat. loop, visible or WV, it doesnt matter. You can see the shortwave and the clouds associated with it sweeping ever closer to Cindy from the NW. That tells me a turn is inevitable this evening sometime. She cant just plow into it. Im thinking she hits near Extreme SE La. and makes a 2nd landfall near Biloxi. JMO.

Yes I just looked again to make sure. Zoom in on the visible floater 3 times and slow the loop down. You can clearly see the center has shifted further westward. Look due south of Houma. Click on the lat/long graphic also and see how much more to the west the center is off of the 90' line than earlier.

If I had to guess by radar loop, I'd say she's just begun moving NNE in the last couple frames and she'll go just over or east of Grand Isle. Currenlty Grand Isle winds are East at 20 with gusts to 29.
