A bit difficult for be to decipher the "weatherese" ... but unless my eyes and/or math deceive me, it appears the heading is now DUE NORTH.
71º24'W = 71.4ºW, which was where it was in terms of longitude 3 hours ago. Meanwhile, it moved from 27.8ºN to 28º02'N (=28.03ºN) in the same time frame. Now, admittedly, 3 hours does not a trend make. But it is worthy of note that since 11 PM last night, she's moved more than 2.1º north, while moving only 0.9º west.
