  Now lets all say goodbye ...  rain an all..

  
  Not quite. The center is about 20 miles due south of the VAB moving north/northeast. Still more rain to come.

  
  
  How do you track that real time?.. and can the center be identified, it is it a lot more organized?

  ERNESTO WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 28.7 NORTH...LONGITUDE 80.6 WEST.
  THIS POSITION IS JUST NORTH OF CAPE CANAVERAL FLORIDA AND ABOUT 360
  MILES...580 KM...SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MYRTLE BEACH SOUTH CAROLINA."

• That does appear to be the 'main' circulation north of KSC, looks like a secondary one is now just WSW. There's no real organization with him.
  
  To track now you simply watch weather radar, best app for that is GRLevel 3 (http://grlevelx.com but it's down for a server move today)
  
  You can also get it free at http://weather.gov

• Here's a link to a nice RADAR loop around the Cape.  It's a real time... so if you're looking at this tomorrow... you'll see nothing.

  I saved an animated gif showing the circulation center over the Cape an hour ago... but it was 295k and over the 100k upload limit (and I don't know how to resize an animated gif).  Anyway, the center is really only discernable by watching the motions of the precip bands.
