A great post earlier about the fact that the NHC was tending left in their forecast tracking on some storms. They do a masterful job, both in their forecasting, and discussions. Enjoyed the candidness on the 5 am this morning.

Now that Dean-O is entering warmer SST's...we'll all be puckering up a bit, ya think?

a sensing that Dean will track more northerly than plotted keeps naggin away...and reading one of the met's posts about Dean possibly reaching cat 5 status...whew.

next 5 days will be interesting. I appreciate the insight on this board. I'm am nothing but a novice...know surface info..certainly don't have a clue about much of the dynamics on steering currents...so each year I learn more. What a fascinating field.

Having a feeling about New Orleans again. or points east....
