Ike is traveling exactly along the short term NHC track. There is a weakness that has descended down from the midwest, causing Ike to travel to the NW today. The trough is pulling out, though, which will leave Ike traveling more westward tomorrow.
The NHC is very good with the 3 day cone. This is a Texas threat.
Further, you cannot use IR to reliably track motion. It doesn't translate well. Visible and radar work better.
