Oh contray in some cases,didn't you notice how Dennis quietly navigated the strait there didn't you.He is avioding land thus far but that is about to end with the tip of Cuba.The forward change of speed will not let him dodge the next parcel of land.I would expect a significant change W on the rest of the models that where E of the MS/AL line and this sucks.I mentioned this in reference to another response from a poster that once he cleared the strait look for a WNW direction.
The last 9 hrs has brought a 1.3N/2.0W @ 303'(290' is a better WNW).I really cannot see this Guy changing anytime soon with the forward speed increasing.The UKMET.EURO have been on N.O. for DAYS now.Then you throw the CMC that way and the latest track kinda of eerie for CGOM.The FL panhandle is not out of the woods yet for sure.Saturday morning the NHC should have a good handle on the track.

Like to add that an ULL looks to be developing possibly in TX.It's looks to be moving faster than Dennis could be our saving grace(MS\AL) if the two meet at that the right time.
