Storms can behave all sorts of ways. There was a hurricane that came through my town back in the 90s. It came near, missed us, went out to sea, then turned around and came back to hit us. The eye went right through downtown.

Earth does not look the same. Just look at the satellite photos from week to week and see how much the clouds and storm systems move around. Our weather is more active than that on the gas giant planets. We don't know for sure what's really going on there to make their apparent "weather" seem so stable compared to earth's.
