Great loop. If you set trop forecast points to display you'll see the eye totally nails the latest forecast point. NHC is doing pretty well so far, especially when you consider how the models where shifting around so much and very uncertain two days ago. I hope the clarity increases and good forecasting continues -- that will save lives.


Don't go by the "bullseye"...NHC changes them every few hours,3 i believe

It is pretty clear that Dean will not be making a turn north on this run. He is too slow and too far south and it looks like he might just die over the southern Yucatan.

I am much more interested in seeing tonight's 00z run. It might have a chance to try to pull a different track since it will have new data to use. We shall see.

I also want to see the 18z ensembles and GFDL. If those are still north, then I think it is clear that the operational GFS is out of whack.


but could it be out of whack on so many consistent runs, wouldn't this be picked up by someone? Just curious and hoping this model does hold some solid credence.
Well this run is actually further south than the 12z run. In fact, it might be the furthest south yet! It moves Dean across the very southern end of the BOC and then possibly out towards the pacific. That is just not very likely, IMO. Also, it seems to slow it down way too much, which I don't understand because if a strong high is really building above it, then it should be going west at a pretty good clip (as it is now). Something just doesn't seem right to me.

Don't be surprised if Dean reaches Cat. 5 status in the western Caribbean...SST are very conducive for great intensification... :eek:

Here is a picture on Fox News' website from Martinique.

It looks like it was pretty rough in some places.

Eye is actually back to the south of 15N, meaning its current wobble is SOUTH of due West. I was thinking that it might bump the ridge harder as it intensified and end up a tad north of th NHC path. Well, obviously I was wrong and that northern jog got erased quickly.

Gotta hand it to them, they've been almost EXACTLY on the eye path for a while now. I see no reason to doubt that will continue. NHC has done a tremendous job with this one so far.

Fine by me! Let it hit Mexico, the US Coastline has had more than enough of our share of storms the past few season's have been devastating to the US! I don't wish a major storm on anyone, but keep it away from the US!

Mayfield update anyone? *(WPLG-10, Miami)

First Don Noe showed the state of FL superimposed on Dean and Dean is as big as the state of FL!

Max stated that he and the NHC find the GFDL model a BIT troublesome because it has been fairly good in the past.

He also stated that *IF* Dean WAS to take that path (towards LA) then the lower Keys could possibly feel the fringes on Dean and TS force winds.

He also was very clear that the above scenerio is NOT the forecast at this time.

(Please do not read anything else into this post than what I stated. I can hear it now...."Max says it's going to LA!!"..THIS IS NOT THE CASE! No need to panic, the NHC forecast is what we must believe to be true right now)

this storm has been going west or slightly WNW basically since it was formed. I dont think there's much going on to make it deviate from its path. Mexcio, get ready!

Watch the trend with the GFDL. NHC is concerned enough with what this model is picking up on to keep an eye on it.

GFDL trending north is reason for concern. Especially if you live along the Northern Gulf Coast. I don't like the weakness present in the synoptic situation this weekend. Especially since this storm is as big as the size of Texas.
