Recon Reports Pressure back down to 958mb, Dennis is regaining some strength. more to come at 5PM.

Original Update
Dennis has weakened over cuba and now is a category 2 storm in the Gulf

High Res Visible Still of Dennis at 2:45PM

The forecast track hasn't changed much, still aiming toward the western Panhandle.

Intensity is going to be the biggest question now. If it can regain itself or not. It's got a small eye, so it has a shot, but right now it's moving over slightly cooler waters. More to come soon.

Site Note News talkbacks are now in lockdown mode, which means that unregistered users cannot reply.

You can still post in the other forums besides talkbacks. This enables us to moderate a lot better. I hate doing this, but I can see obvious signs of "storm stress" on a few individuals. We'll make it open again as soon as it calms down.

Registration is open for anyone, you can register Using this link. Then you will be able to reply here.

Hopefully this will only last a short time.
