Hurricane Dennis is now a Category 3 storm, more to come soon. Forecast track remains quite similar to the last one. Overall, the track has been numerically close to right on so far.

Hurricane Warnings are now posted for the lower Florida Keys, as tropical storm force winds may be approaching there tomorrow afternoon.

2:40PM

Pressure in Dennis has fallen to 956mb, possibly putting it over the edge for a Category 3 storm. We'll know in a bit.
2:00PM
Dennis is now 110MPH winds, very near Category 3 strength. And still about 65 miles away from Kingston in Jamaica. (To the Northeast)

Visitor and Nonresident evacuations have been ordered for the Florida Keys.

Meteorologists Clark Evans and Ed Dunham have discussions about Dennis, which you can find below this article or by clicking the Met blogs link on the left.

Original Update
The Florida Keys are now under a Hurricane Watch, including Florida Bay. South Florida from Golden Beach on the east coast, to Bonita Beach on the West coast are under a tropical storm watch.

It is still approaching Jamaica, and has a chance to strengthen some more. Interaction with Cuba should weaken it a bit before it gets in the Gulf, how much is up for debate, however.

An eye is now apparant on Visible Satellite Images

This was forced because of track uncertainties in the models. Check the Monroe County EM link below for Keys Evac information.

The track still takes it toward the Western Panhandle... More to come soon.
