She has slowed down a lot there is a 59 minute gap between two of the frames.
Slower speed west will reduce shear.
The models are going to have to be reinitialized for sure before we get much meaningful information out of them.
The NHC track had some recurve in the forecast track as it reached the west end of Jamaica so any shift right is cutting it close on the strong side of the storm.
We have some time to watch but I was afraid this was going to happen.

The higher north she goes yes the greater chance for texas, but you also have to add in the ridge which is the stearing factor. Lets just say everyone keep a nice eye on this :wink:

If you look at the current models. Image
They arent affected by the high to much ( no sudden turn west just more w than wnw) so if you put her WNW she will be higher than those plots in my perjection until the models suggest the high will make her turn West. Thats my 2 cents. correct me if im wrong

Nimbus, what do you mean? What is so concerning to you? I'm curious about your "models are going to have to be reinitialized" comment?

Wow, deja-vu!!!

Same comments as with Dennis.

A wobble here, a wobble there... people see something in 3 frames and conclude a direction change and that the NHC is wrong.

Sure enough, a little wobble the other way and they nailed it.

Remember, a little wobble means almost nothing until the storm is close.... then it has a major impact. Until then.... chill until a consisten shift is noted

Emily is now a cat 4 storm again which is a pretty good indication the environmental variables have changed.
As a cat4 storm she will be building a larger high pressure dome that will effect the steering elements.
I thought I saw a slowdown in forward speed starting in the IR loop after the Satellite blackout at 19:15.
Only had three frames and two of the frames were separated by a 59 minute gap.
NHC still says 18 MPH, will have to average out the wobbles and check the trend tomorrow morning.
