Could you take a look at this link and tell me what I'm looking at?

That's the North American Model (NAM). Typically a good short range (48-60 hours or less) model... but, not one of the better ones when it comes to hurricane forecasting.

That map is an overlay of precip totals for a 3hour period, as well as an identifier of pressure. This shows the storm moving into Mexico... which you can see on the larger version from NCEP.
