Seems like the NHC agrees with the majority of us here, they regard Dennis as the bigger threat.

While that is obviously true, I think the bottom line with Cindy is that they have an excellent handle on what she is and what she's gonna do. One cautionary note is that the Vipir model (which surprsingly or not, had the Plaquemines+Mississippi hits with Cindy) did show some tightening during secondary landfall in coastal Mississippi. I'd keep that in mind if I was there. But we have buoys and other observation prospects with Cindy. NOAA needs to get recon into Dennis so they can start feeding in model data.

THat really bites,
here we have a real TS about to make landfall and they cancel the mission and schedule a mission for a storm that will not affect the CONUS for days.
THis IMO is a clear lapse in judgement. A mod to strong TS off the cost of US should be more important than a storm a week away.
Rant Over,
I'll get of my soapbox now,

They will rely on surface observations and sat estimates.

Cindy wont get much stronger, there not really much a recon flightr will tell us IMO. With her I fgure the worst case scenerio will be for it to reach cat 1 and still not be much of a problem.
Dennis has the potential to be a major hurricane and I think they are making the right call focusing their attention and $$$ on him.

Cat 1 is a problem if you are expecting a weak TS...
