If it's 4 minutes North and 11 minutes West.....then why is the last advisory this....."Rita is moving toward the west near 13 mph and this motion is expected to continue during the next 24 hours." Is it going WNW or NW or W......? There is so much information out there I sometimes don't know what is actually happening at the moment. Clue me in!

ComtemptofCourt has that answer in #1989 - "NHC uses a 6 hr mean motion. It is on or damn near the NHC forecasted track"

That one-hour shift toward the WNW may well be more of a wobble than anything else.
