Straight west-northwestward movement through forecast period. I've backed off just a touch on the intensity forecast, but intensity once the system reaches 55W or 60W (if it does, which it likely will; see brief point in discussion) will be more confidently predicted in the next day or so.

I still say it is too early to forecast where this storm is going. It is way out there and a lot of things can happen. I have heard several reports and all of them seem to disagree. One weather man says it is going to go WNW then turn again to the W. Then other are saying for right now WNW but it is too early in the game to tell.
