Now they think Tomas will accelerate northwards, clobbering western Haiti, but moving on rather than lingering to cause more problems. That's an improved forecast!
Update: Tomas seems to have a rather large tilt, with the surface low heading to Jamaica and the upper low (with the rain) heading to Haiti. The tilt doesn't seem associated with much of a temperature gradient, though. Is it just shear associated with the approaching front? In any event, it's looking like the storm will accelerate as it moves north, which hopefully will minimize the exposure of Haitiians to flooding.
