Re: Latest advisory appears to indicate WSW direction . . .

The 5 a.m. advisory pegged Erika's initial position to 16.8N  61.5W. As of the 8 a.m., her initial position was stated to be 16.5N 62.7W. That's 3/10 of a degree SOUTH of where she was said to be at 5 a.m., and more than 1 degree further west. Something's amiss here, given that the 5 a.m. discussion called for Erika to make it all the way up to 17.6N by this evening.
