Re: Major Hurricane Dean Moving Westward

I agree with your call WW. Dean has been
moving west along 15N for the last 6hrs-- really feeling the effects of the ridge. Although we have seen some wild swings with model tracks in the past few seasons I think this reasoning of a landfall from Alabama to Mexico will verify. Anything East of that would require more troughing from the Midwest which no 3-6 day forecast supports. The kind of turn we expeirenced with Charlie and Wilma needs a digging front which rarely happens in August..
