A great website called Weather Underground has a fantastic map that shows the course of Ike and I've linked to a version in which I've turned on an animated infrared satellite. This is the best website in my opinion primarily because they get their data from multiple sources and show the differences between the forecasts.

This is a great, and rather large, satellite animation of Ike from the Accuweather.

NOAA National Weather Center of course is the source of much of the information on other sites and is often updated first, unfortunately their imagery is often less intuitive.
