THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL FORECAST TRACK. I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT METEOROLOGY.

I loaded the first and last frame in photoshop, placed a couple circle over both eyes (I know they're just dimples right now) and then played connect the dots.

45 knot surface winds a good 120nm or more southeast of the center ...

That's not too shabby.
