The track of the storm has made a jog because the center reformed behind where it was. Sometimes that’s bad news because it’s a way the system can get better organized and intensify. But in this case, the slightly revised track has taken it closer to Jamaica, which means the circulation is being disrupted by the mountains on that island. The medium-high terrain of eastern Cuba also appears to be ahead of it.
