THE OFFICIAL DENNIS LANDFALL PREDICTION THREAD

[dwg71]

I called for Panama City Beach as a Cat 2, looks like I was close on both.

The only thing I got right was the intensity (made at home, not on the board) and slight veer right before landfall. Even that was lucky since Dennis did an unusual continuation NNW into the lax CONUS environment. There's a lazy summer High up there not budging. Not the zonal flow progression of fronts we usually see.

I should have stuck with my guns that the upper Gulf was too early in July to support that category 4 intensity. But it was dry air to the west that took Dennis down at the last moment like Lili and Ivan (good for people who have to pay for damage)...

Jeeze...in comparing every person that posted in this thread's current location (their city), and their landfall prediction...I can safely say about 80% of the people in this thread have pinpointed their personal area as the likely area for landfall haah..lol...-removed- at a minimal...but anywho.

My current opinion, not that it counts for a whole lot, is a Full Fledged hurricane first affecting Central West Cuba, then moving northwards generally, affecting the Keys especially, and possibly affecting the entire West Coast of Florida with outer-rainbands. HOWEVER, I expect actual landfall somewhere between The Louisiana/Mississipppi State Line, and Panama City. I really don't understand how some people here are expecting a full front Texas landfall.....
