Position 4 appears to have passed over a land mass even if a small one that caused a pause in the velocity.

Position 4A 3 hours later shows a central pressure that has dropped 8 millibars.

It is my estimation this storm is about 200 miles wide from its' eye and over open Atlantic waters. I am not surprised this is accelerating as it is. The Longitude may be recorded a bit south of its actual location. It is not easy to discern these storms sometimes. This is a Climate Crisis storm and it has diffuse patterns.
5A 17.80 -64.90 08/22/00Z 50 995 TROPICAL STORM
There is a chance the eye is still in the Caribbean, but, the acceleration for that area of the Caribbean surprises me. Unless, those waters are hot, hot, hot. I still stand by the estimation, even in the Caribbean, it is over open water at Position 4A.
It's just that I hate surprises when it comes to lives.
It is pushing more north right now than south. If it continues to accelerate there are going to be significant tidal surges.
I believe 'direct solar rays' helps pinpoint the central eye pressure. So, depending on where the sun's light falls tomorrow morning, the eye won't be far away.
I think the direct solar rays are in the Atlantic at this longitude. The water vapor will be assisted in 'concentrating' at that point tomorrow morning. With the intense heat in the 'ground level' troposphere, the direct solar rays are like a prisom, if you will. A spark to the fire.
I am going to go way out on a limb at this point, but, right now I am going to say ... ???? ... South Carolina ... hm ... around ... Briarcliffe Acres.
