Stretch image to the north?
|
If you stretch the image just a little bit to the north, the state boundaries line up nicely for TX, AR, LA, and OK. Also, the path works better with the other predictions models posted.
I love these overlays. Keep it up!

Hey thanks and thanks for including my posts in your sticky thread!
Yeah it's a science to get it all to line up - especially when NOAA changes the perspective each time they update - LOL

Sorry everyone - NOAA updated the forecast at 11am but not the image.
When they update the storm track, they change the perspective of the image so it'll always be off - I have to manually adjust it.
I just did - enjoy!
