wobbling to the west and even slightly south now....looks like perhaps the NHC track will come to pass.
What exactly is the steering current that is supposed to cause Rita to turn North or Northwest? Still looks more or less westward to me. With no turn, Corpus Christi is the target.
I saw that southern jog too. She's still doing the "stairstep wobble".
