Not likely, this is probaly in response the WNW track Dean was on earlier. Now it looks like Dean is back on 270*

Re: Tropical Storm DEAN: Discussions,Analysis and Imagery
Strengthening didn't happen like some of us were suspecting. I guess the dry air is keeping it down.
Track seems to have caught the underside of the ridge more now (GFDL). Guidance more solid.
Could notch slightly above forecast track, but Dominica does look reasonable. Lucky the dry air is keeping the intensity down. But pull-ups are always possible if it feels a weakness.

I was hopping to get some swell out of this, but looks like Florida will continue to be flat, even though it is our swell winds, there has been minimal ESE winds for most of life for Dean so far, meaning Florida can expect only a minor swell. I hate to be so selfish when a storm is out there with the potential to become a monster, the swell is my primary interest when i look at the weather.
Yes, and you should go to the poles.

Re: Tropical Storm DEAN: Discussions,Analysis and Imagery
I still have faith in more development tonite. Remember, we are still in the DM phase. Around 12pm-1am we may see a significant uptick in strengthening.

ya know what.. I have a gut feeling, not -removed-, or anything like that, last time I had it, it was with Charley. AND I hope I am wrong, but I really feel like Dean will move more North. I know gut feelings have no scientific data. But I am a woman
and my gut feelings are usually pretty close to being right. THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC DATA OR COMPUTER MODELS TO SUPPORT THIS.. just me...
