Re: making landfall soon

Just looking at the IR, WV and Visibles, it appears the Dennis is going to make landfall in Cuba for the 2nd time in less than an hour.
WeatherNLU: I think that what a lot of people are seeing on the WV loops that are causing them to think that this will go more NW/NNW is the fact that the short wave troughs are digging much deeper into the GOM and you CAN see an erosion of the high pressure system just east of Daytona. Clark has talked about this happening, Ed has talked about this happening and so has JK. This was a possibility all along. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it's not something we can't totally discount. It was also addressed in the 11AM discussion and some of the models are picking up on this.
I don't see JB's theory of it skirting the coast of Cuba happening right now. Nothing, however, is set in stone, so again...we all need to watch it carefully. It's going to be a squeaker.
