As you look at the latest model picks and the further S they have gone except the CMC look at the extrapolation WSW.The point that I was tring to make earlier.When Dean starts to slow down a little the ridge is letting up some and then maybe a little bit of a bend should start to happen.My little vortice is still out @ 11N 50W it too appears to be bending WSW and Dean looks to be only holding on but it is the DMin now.Also Dean looks to be gaining on the Vortice so maybe the ridge is slowing down at 50W.
