Has this Hurricane really slowed up??

I'm not monitoring every little wobble, but from this sat loop, Emily just made a BIG jog to the northwest. Doesn't look like just a wobble to me.

Then after the big jog, it looks like it does a 360, in other words, it's pretty much stationary.

Not good. :eek:

It's beginning to feel some influence from the EPAC system?

Eugene doesnt have enough outflow to affect Em, and it it did it would shear her not slow her.

ok....thank you very much.....im just wondering about the steering currents now...

The more I look at the infrared sat image it looks like the eye it self is not moving and its just the bands around the eye expanding out that makes it look like it is moving at all! what do you guys think about this?

Well whats slowing her. It's very obvious that she has slowed.

The due west movement wasnt forcast from NHC until this evening, its moving very close to NHC track.

Has Emily reached the far western end of the ridge, detected a weakness north of her, and is starting to stall before a curve? She has definitely slowed from her 20 mph juggernaut during most of her history.

Closer to Texas now.

Still moving forward...

well, i am begining to wonder the same thing....cuz, something has to be going on for her to slow to a crawl right now...she could be at the end of the ridge

Pluggin the points from the last two vortex fixes into the distance calculator yields 15 nm travelled over approximately 90 minutes... doing the math manually yields 16 nm over 90 minutes... so something between 10-11 knots or 11.5-12.5 mph...

and the trigonometry suggests something like a heading of 290..

Any other thoughts as to why this is happening???

Here are some shots with Range Rings. Looks like she has moved slowly to the NW the last ~2 hours.

Better presentation too.

Motion is now 12 mph per 4 PM CDT Advisorie.

It should be noted that Emily is now almost due west of her projected landfall point. So if a west motion is to happen it should begin now.

Has this Hurricane really slowed up??
