last couple of hours it has started moving NNW with the sheer calming down a bit


I'm not so sure we can ascertain motion from that. It looks like there might be a northerly turn.. but these things can wobble.

The main thing that's going on here is the two circulations are trying to consolidate which means (at least) one of them is going to have to deviate from regular storm motion to get on top of/underneath the other. This could result in the storm finally taking its northerly turn.. but I doubt the current storm motion is due N or NNW

another recon aircraft is on its way right now.. should be there to get a vortex fix in the next couple hours so we'll know for sure.

Yeah, short term motion is tricky with the canopy expanding this afternoon, can't really trust satellite images. Recon will be interesting and maybe the data can clear things up.

As far as track, even if this does make the Gulf there doesn't appear to be many options for moving too far west.
