Re: 5 AM Discussion~edited

Vis a vis the new advisory and my previous question about how cuba will effect the intensity of Dennis. I find it puzzling that the most recent discussion says that the transverse will only weaken him 'slightly" and that Dennis will emerge in the gulf as a cat 4 storm. I would think that the cuba landfall would have a much more significant impact on the storm's intensity--dropping the central pressure at least by 20mb which would usually suggest wind speeds in the cat 2 range. Any help out there for my confusion?
