from the looks of the "latest" visible on the navy site, Dean has probably just made Hurricane strength.. I believe at 5 p.m. we will be tracking our first Hurricane of the season.. also note the trough in the Bahamas, looks a bit strong, could bump Dean a bit north as some of the models are predicting. Very interesting, I think as the storm intensifies today, it may move more north of the track as I preidcted earlier.. Still far out there folks, can't really predict if it's going to be a GOM or East Coast storm if it hasn't even reached the islands yet. We'll see what Dean does during the next few days. we are looking at a good rapid intesification if it is a Hurricane at 5 p.m. today.
