The forecast was wrong. ;-) Actually Rita has not been moving
particularly quickly, but I suppose one could argue it didn't
exactly "stall" either. However, I recall reading at least
one of the HNC discussions last week which said, in essence,
that they were not certain about exactly how influences in
the extended range would play out (and IIRC the model
solutions were divergent) so they were forecasting slow
motion until things became more clear.

Cheers,
