Anyone notice Ivan has basically been parked at SW Jamaica since late last night? It's not that far off shore, either. Boy, are they getting hammered.

Yeah, I figured Ivan to weaken more than it has... I do believe the eye is becoming more stable. Outflow is heavy but semetrical, not coming off in chunks like Frances. I think it may be at least in a holding pattern, if not strengthening slowly over the next few hours. Edit: I wanted to add I think speed will pick up with strength returning.

I can't see it making to the Yucatan pass yet. I'll still hold out for a pass West of Grand Cayman and North over the end of Cuba.
