4. You would think that the winds would pull Irma to hit the Yucutan

The wind activity in the Gulf shown on this other map illustrates a different pattern.

But maybe the time shown as 12 A.M. is why there's a difference. I tried to get something going with the Play button in the Ventusky version both in Firefox and IE but it doesn't work. Neither does dragging the white timeline circle. I have to learn more about these wonderful wind maps to view up to the hour activity.

ETA: I got the image to go to 9 P.M. (My Mountain Time now) by clicking on the "Previous" link in the lower left corner of the page. And you have to change the date, too. Then the two wind maps coincide.
