It is a general term, often depending on the person who is writing. Generally, “northwest” can mean Texas and the western-half of the Louisiana coastline.

Hackberry won't be safe. PM me if you need to....

Looking at IR posted above it looks like a pretty good wobble to the north.

Please be careful judging movement (west or north) using IR. Towering storms rotating around a gradual clearing eye can give very convincing illusions.

Low level recon is going in for a third fix. Does look like a pretty decent wobble to the n. They will confirm either way here in about 15 min.

With rapid deepening and an eyewall in the process of forming - unfortunately this one will be prone to wobbles, at least in the near-term.

Oh no doubt. I'm guessing that the blended motion will be nw.

Still though those wobbles to the left are going to create some serious discomfort for Galveston and the surrounding area.

Wow, Powerful Storm. So at this point we are radar watching looking for wobbles and praying no unexpected surprises.

Looks like my call was too far down the coast but this is one of those cases, for our sake, when I am glad to be wrong.
Man I really feel for those in LA. This is going to be bad - probably a good deal worse for Lake Charles than Rita if you can even imagine that.

Hurricane force winds could extend out to Harris and Montgomery Counties. That’s how much she’s grown.

Wow

Surfside to San Luis. Thought the GFS was undergoing the ridge and I was expecting one last model push west and it didn’t happen.
