Well as said much earlier in the day if the ULL stalls out before or around 90-95 West it might bring the track further north, but Im thinking that probably wont happen.

It appears that the ULL in the Gulf is slowing down if not possibly beginning to stall. Check out the WV loop.
Also, seems the system NE of the Lesser Antilles will encounter shear if not already. Enough to keep it at bay??

I have not looked lately but where is that High Pressure ridge and and is it going to make it down to push the ULL out, or will we be looking at the ULL as a player over the next few days.

Dean is now approaching the warmest (hottest?) part of the Caribbean, I believe, and just looking at the IR loop, it appears that the eye is shrinking, and doing so at a quick pace, so it's not surprising to see a lower pressure and a single eyewall. Curious that the estimated surface winds (121kts) are very close to the FL winds (125kts)...

The ULL does look like it has slowed down or stalled but it also looks like the ridge may be breaking down the ULL as it seems to be much stronger and is winning out. So the ULL still may not be a factor even though it has stalled.

Anything is possible, though. Indeed, I've been looking at the ULL periodically today, and it has at times looked like it was stalling. Dean has obviously continued moving due west, though - but that makes sense because there was some distance between the two systems. Now, however, the inflow into the ULL, so to speak, is very close to the edge of Dean's moisture envelope. Will it be enough to yank Dean northward? The models do not think so, and neither does the . I would put the possibility at something greater than zero, but I don't know how much (not high, at this point, but keep an eye on it).

Im not sure if anyone posted a statement on the storms over S florida today..but they were NOT part of Dean. Deans furthest band so far is over central cuba and that is currently. Lets try not to overdo or scare people in florida who are not weather knowledgable.

Looks like the recon info only sorta made it in before the advisory... in the initial section they say pressure is *estimated* at 925, and in the repeat they say minimum central pressure is 924 (don't say estimated). Also, the advisory held the winds at 145mph. While the recon has not found anything higher than that - yet - they likely will before they depart, given the trend.

Somehow we are and aren't in the main forum, depending on how you access the thread.
Edit:
Looks like we need a new main thread. Thread corruption is occurring.

Something is linked wrong. If you go to the latest message from the top page you get here. But if you go into the start of the thread, it ends with your message referring to me posting the next to the last vortex message.

Looks like the board is redirecting posts to the Disaster Forum instead of the main one?
EDIT: I started to reply to THIS message, and it was linked correctly - but the messages directly above this message are linked to the Disaster forum.

I'm a little confused. Someone on here said not too long ago that some of the models had shifted a little further northward but in the 11:00 discussion the said they had shifted further southward. I guess that also means that the ULL won't have any effect on Dean even though it has pretty much stalled. I guess because the ridge is winning out and predicted to become even stronger.

I can understand the confusion. The ULL does appear to have stalled but it is apparently far enough away to not influence Dean at all.
It appears that this thread is duplicated in both the NewsTalk forum (main forum) and the Disaster forum.

Dean is very simple for a forecast. All the global models agree and the ,FSU SuperEns take this just south of Cozumel.. ( I feel good enough south of there) and into the BOC then somewhere near Tampico Mx. TX chance of getting more then a feeder band is less then 10%. Its been like this for 36hrs now on its MX forecasted path. There is nothing to take this more NW as the ridge will be strong over the SE U.S. and because of this ridge...we might have to look east of the bahamas on Weds-Fri.

Even if the ULL slows or stalls as it appears to be doing. The high pressure is spreading south toward north Florida. This will keep Dean on a due west track regardless of the ULL. That is until Dean exit the Yucatan Peninsula where is possibly could drift northward up the coast toward extreme south Texas.
