Re: Dean Approaches Jamaica
|
I just saw that 173 mph report on wunderground. I'm assuming that is a gust from the ESE? I'm afraid the damage is going to be catastrophic due to the northeast quadrant hitting Kingston. A day ago it looked as if Dean would track just north of Jamaica which would have spared some of the more densely populated areas. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Also, looking at the water vapor of the gulf of mexico it appears the Upper Level Low has slowed over the western gulf. Does anyone else see this? Is the ULL still expected to still track west toward Texas keeping Dean on a more southerly track?
