Re: Dean v. Louisiana?

The more northerly motion that I was looking for today to really change that line of thinking never happened. And I'm not seeing anything right now that would lead me to change that either.




I don't mean to be argumentative, Mike, but what kind of more northerly motion were you looking for? Dean is now moving west-northwest, rather than west. They don't give the exactly angle of motion in the public advisories, but I assume it's an increase in northward component from the 290 degrees at 11am. Granted on this heading Dean will still likely skim the Yucatan, but only skim it, and there's a certain degree of logic that says once a turn poleward begins, it's possible for it to continue.

I guess I'm just wondering what you were looking for today to really change that line of thinking?
