Wait what? I thought it was supposed to move west.

Tropical Storm Beta Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL222020
400 AM CDT Sun Sep 20 2020

snip...

Beta was caught in weak steering currents for nearly a day, but
it now seems to be moving. The current initial motion estimate is
west-northwestward at 3 kt. A mid-level ridge currently centered
over the southwestern U.S. is forecast to slide eastward, which
should cause Beta to move a little faster to the west-northwestward
later today. This motion should continue for a couple of days,
taking the storm to the Texas coast on Monday or Monday night.
After Beta moves inland, the ridge is forecast to move away as a
shortwave trough approaches from the west. This change in the
pattern is expected to cause Beta to slow down, or even stall, on
Tuesday and then turn northeastward after that. The NHC track
forecast lies near the middle of the guidance envelope, and it is
fairly similar to the previous prediction.

"Moving...NNE at 2 MPH"

You saw that too, eh?

The storm has been meandering. The slight eastward motion was short lived. Beta is now creeping WNW at ~3 MPH.
