Re: Tropical Storm DEAN: Global Models=00z GFS run rolling in
If it makes it to the caribbean like the GFS says...the key will be cuba and Hispaniola. Cuba is not wide at all, just long. It would not take much deviation to the left for it to stay over water the entire time. On the other hand, it if goes at the right angle it could run the length of Cuba for over 24 hours. But Cuba and Hispaniola are small targets and I would suspect the most likely scenario is not a prolonged period of time over either.

TWC has mentioned that the ridge over the Atlantic and the one over the SE (that is driving soon to be Erin WNW) may join up and form a type of "brick wall." This thing is destin for the gulf! If I was in Barbados or any neighboring island, I'd be up all night cutting plywood tonight.
OK, nobody knows so we are all "guessing" as are the models.
So, my guess is that by looking at Historical Tracks; it is not possible to simply state "This thing ain't gonna go north".

it may end up in the gulf, however it could end up in the carolinas too. Still too far out to focus on that. But this GFS run is pointing towards the gulf, I will give you that. Quite frankley it could still even be a fish, although not likely.

The changes if any wont come until the 06z runs.

But if you go look at the GFDL it intialized @11.6 @50knts then the HWRF @11.6 @35knt now these are hrs old now and had somewhat a deflection N but not much and the NHC says 12N QS shows 11.8 @3:06UTC I do not see that making an E coast threat YET but lets see how it looks tomorrow afternoon.
By the way Steve I had figured out the Maryland before I started typing just having fun ,knew where you were going.

Re: Tropical Storm DEAN: Global Models=00z GFS run rolling in
There will be so much change in the models this far out. Right now it's really just a wait and see game. It'll be interesting to see where this storm ends up. We've gone from a possible Mexico track to Carolinas coast and everywhere in between!
