I have read on Accuweather that Dennis could maybe be a Category 4 by the time it reaches the Gulf of Mexico.... could this one go Cat 5 at landfall???
It's way too early to forecast what the intensity could be at landfall. Especially since it hasn't even reached Cat 1status.
Looking at the forecast plots from the 5am adv. this morning. Seems like the storm has tracked just a bit further west than was even forecast then. Earlier it looks to have been forecast to cross 16N right around 72W, and here it is at 72.5W. Not a big difference, but something I like keeping an eye on.
Also, T.S. force winds have gone from 85mi to 100mi outward from the center.
