Last report I saw only like maybe 3 cumulative inches in the west side.

Center sure seems North of all these models and tracks. Though it was supposed to start turning West not going North

After a short-lived intense burst of deep convection a couple of
hours ago, which helped to spin up a mid-level eye feature in radar
imagery, Beta's convection has waned somewhat and the eye feature
has become less distinct. Doppler velocity values of 60-65 kt
between 15,000-20,000 ft were noted when the vortex column looked
its best, but that spin up of the circulation also generated a
significant amount of dry air entrainment that is now evident by a
pronounced slot wrapping into the center from the north and
northeast, which has likely caused the recent decrease in the
inner-core convection. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft
was investigating Beta during the time of the aforementioned
convective burst, and the low-level center was located about 18-20
nmi east of the radar eye feature, and the surface dropsonde
measured west winds of 39 kt beneath the calm 850-mb center. These
data indicate that vortex column possesses a significant amount of
vertical tilt, which is not suggestive of an intensifying tropical
cyclone. The aircraft found that the central pressure has remained
at around 996 mb and also measured an 850-mb flight-level maximum
wind of 60 kt, thus the initial intensity is being held at 50 kt.

Storm is living up to its name, and look at all these stars on the wrong post!
And yes, I need a charge.
