This is not good. That's about all I can say. Dennis has blown past expectations, climatology, and everything else yet another time. It's well on its way towards being a category 4 storm.

The only saving grace is a pool of colder waters just south of Pensacola. If the storm is moving slow enough, it could have an impact on the storm's intensity just before landfall. A recent wobble north may be the signal of the long-awaited turn moreso towards the north. The system is due south of St. George Island, Florida right now; a north-northwest movement to landfall pretty much takes it to the area Max Mayfield highlighted in his interview with JK.

Stay tuned...this thing's on a tear right now.
