Was this slow down expected?

I see that Dennis is now moving 10 mph. Was this projected to happen and is weakness in the ridge what is causing the slow down and the more poleward track? I know 10 mph isn't all that slow, but it is considerably slower then the storm had been moving.

I know it was forecast to slow though I'm not sure of the expected magnitude of it.

Slowing down + Ridge not as strong (yet) = models take it north

So is the ridge supposed to fill back in or is this going to plow over central Cuba?

It's supposed to fill back in they say... but it will still plow over Cuba.... The Ridge is supposed to be so strong that some models have taken the hurrican all the way to Colorado after landfall.... Riiiiiight.

It looks like Cindy is breaking down the ridge a bit right now. Is it supposed to fill back in?

So should we expect tropical watches / warnings to be issued for Denver?

I'm sure everyone in Denver has their hurricane kit prepared and evacuation route plotted. :lol:

Has it occured to any of you that the energy and rain from the storm COULD make it that far over without it being a tropical storm? It is a long shot but if the ridge is building to the north as they say it is, and will be as strong as predicted, it could make a push pretty far west after landfall....
