Re: Dean Reaches Category 4 Strength

The GFDL is NOT forecasting a 190 mph hurricane...it's forecasting 190 mph 35 meter winds....there would be quite a bit of reduction down to sfc from 35 meters...probably down to about 170 mph..which is STILL not good to ponder, but not 190. Just clearing things up. (BTW, I think the GFDL is WAY overdone)
