It's actually going West: PRESENT MOVEMENT TOWARD THE WEST OR 270 DEGREES AT 9 KT
Hurricane Hunters flying through it this morning prompted a slight downgrade in strength: Given the minimum pressure reports
from the aircraft and the range of the data, the current intensity is lowered to 100 kt.
Forecasters are having a tough time estimating the 24/48 hour strength but in general they think it will weaken more as the sheer increases slightly. However it is going to be packing a big punch.
FYI Knieft, the Dark Sky app uses the GFS model, which I am also rooting for but the forecasters are not liking it right now. More models are showing a stronger push to the south. https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/e...?map=model
