Many things could affect the winds. Right now, it is probably while it organzies itself. This storm needs to tighten up a bit plus proximity to land and some dry air will have an affect too.

I am in Bastardi's camp on this one. I think Dennis will ultimately be a west of 90 event. When the Bermuda high brings as oppressive a level of heat to Florida that it has been this week, it usually does not easily fade or shift quickly. The models also seem to be moving toward that conclusion too. I think once Dennis is past Jamacia, we will start to find out.

I think Dennis will hut Cuba near 84W-85W. I just don't see him making a quicker turn.
