The forecast shows we should start seeing that NW movement soon. Hopefully it will never materialize, but the NHC is very good.
Rita should cross the intersection of 25N and 95W at 7am.
If she crosses south of that at 7am that must be good for Galveston. (worse for Corpus)

Jim Cantore was talking last night about it making a more westerly track than the models were predicting, then it would veer north and possibly ride the coast up into Freeport.
