Dr. Knabb on TWC was talking about how a lot was probably friction of the wind coming over the land and then being directed toward the center as it slows tightening it up. It would appear though in addition, it's also using the water under it to hold steady.

It's picking up a little more speed from its crawl earlier and I think it was because it was getting ready to make a bit of a turn and it does seem like there is now a more eastward component, though with the inner structure fluctuating that might be a false impression. But if it does start moving more eastward, it could reach water a little faster.
