OK, I'm fairly certain I've figured out what's going on. It's much clearer in the visible spectrum imagery.

There are two systems colliding, one more dispersed and one with evidently stronger winds but less precipitation. The stronger system is moving counterclockwise due west (as it should), and colliding into the southeast quadrant of the weaker system. It's basically 'sucking' the weaker system in, which is making it appear to move clockwise.

I am no longer distressed. :)

No that to the west is the subtropical jet stream. The low pressure its self it moving slowly eastward, very slowly. That ball of convection is where this system is centered.

I agree. This is not a cyclone/hurricane type formation at all.

And here in Texas, we routinely get weather moving up from the Pacific SW of us. It often alternates, coming down from the northwest, or coming up from the southwest, but generally from west to east, particularly in the winter. In the summer (hurricane season) some of the weather comes up from the southeast/caribbean.

In addition, we just passed into spring, and the vernal equinox, and the weather probably has a hard time making up it's mind.
