270?? Its hard to get a fix when there is not clear center.. I see the 290 - 300 as the trend.

FWIW, the 12z Euro has come into agreement with the 12z GFS.

Agreed Air Force. I don't have a call on the endgame (not even close, though I suspect eastern Gulf), Dennis will probably pass over Western Cuba/Isle of Youth way (seems like every other storm does that these days).

Given the current movement...I give that a good chance of happening...especially since it will arrive in that area before the shortwave can pull it further north. It may track over them or just to the south. We have to wait and see. He may be just passing a really strong part of the ridge or he may be passing the ridge axis and resume a more WNW motion in a few hours...until the planes get out there are start getting some data to put into the models we won't have a decent handle on it.

I imagine a prefessional military met might just have a little bit better equipment than the free stuff we dig up off the web. If AFM says its rolling at 270, I'd bet the farm on it.

cheers,

Looking at the visibles I dont find it hard at all to spot the center... And id tend to agree with AFM's heading of 270.

When I look at the NHC floater 2 with NHC forecast points added, it appears that the center is north of the points, am I missing something...

I spot the center due west of the first forecast point. About to move south of the next forecast point.

My general rule on a system like this is anything north of western Cuba is Bahamas, Florida, and East Coast. Anything over or real close to western Cuba and my eye starts twitching. Anything south of Cuba is TX or Mexico.

Unless this thing starts moving NW it will definitely hit Jamaica or come real close to.

It wont take a monster trough, it only needs to ride the ridge to its east. Models are in pretty good agreeance that the furthest west this could get is NOLA, that could change, but I dont think TX is in play.

Well that NOLA hit is assuming it passes north of Jamaica, which it probably wont given the movement...
