12z GFS is pretty similar to 6z in taking that western track toward Yucatan but then takes an odd jog north at +96h that allows it to shoot the Cuba/Yucatan gap

The latest Canadian still turns it up into the gulf, but the eastern US trough lifts out and the storm stalls.

And then a crawling landfall near New Orleans with slight intensification in the last few hours

I remember the local news mets (Bob Ryan in DC) used to show a "real-time" radar view that had a line sweeping around a circle with the radar image updating as the line passed. How was that different from what we see on radar views today? Whatever happened to that kind of radar and why is that style of "streaming" radar not available on GRLevel3 or the various apps and websites which update the full image at discreet intervals? IS that old style of radar updating available and if so, where?

Thanks!
