Where in the last few posts (until the most recent) they kept putting the projected path due north or even a bit east of north the actual satellite data since about dawn hasn’t supported those projections.
It has moved a bit east in the last couple hours, but not much. The northerly move has just begun, while a another jaunt to the east is also forecast. Still a possibility to make landfall on Maui, according to the models.
Edit: And still a possibility to make land fall on any island, for that matter. Here is the latest coordinate data. It went from 157.7 to 157.5 before wobbling back west. Forecasters are really nervous about calling this one. They believe that the interaction of Lane with our big volcanoes will start breaking it up and sending it westward.
