"GULF OF MEXICO...
DENNIS HAS STARTED TO EFFECT THE GULF OF MEXICO WITH CONVECTION
OVER CUBA AND FLORIDA. SCATTERED MODERATE TO ISOLATED STRONG
CONVECTION IS OVER FLORIDA FROM 24N-30N BETWEEN 81W-84W. MOSTLY
FAIR WEATHER DOMINATES THE REMAINDER OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. IN
THE UPPER LEVELS...AN ANTICYCLONIC CIRCULATION IS CENTERED NEAR
24N80W WITH SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE E OF 86W. A CYCLONIC
CIRCULATION IS OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NEAR 21N93W WITH STRONG
SUBSIDENCE W OF 86W. EXPECT DENNIS TO CONTINUE N TO THE NE
GULF."

Actually... right now it's headed WNW west of the NHC track.

[deltadog03]

man...they might have to eat that statement....Its heading almost due west for a couple of hours now...even Dr. Lyons is saying the same thing...

[jkt21787]

Thats funny...Dennis can't continue N if its not going in that direction at all right now, its moving WNW-NW. Thats screwed up. Don't take it with any seriousness.

[dixiebreeze]

Actually... right now it's headed WNW west of the NHC track.

I really think that will change when Dennis hit open water again.

[Canelaw99]

Norcross (CBS local met) was talking about this same thing - it's what the models are prokecting to happen, and it's what they all think will be occurring as well. Time will ultimately tell, but they've been doing pretty darn good with this thing so far....

[cajungal]

Here we go again. They been right on target so far. And they still confident it will go into Gulf Shores/Pensacola general area. In the end, they usually always end up being right anyway. Just read the Channel 4 New Orleans forums and everybody is already freaking out again with the very word "west". I think it just a temporary movement.

[wxwonder12]

Norcross is usually right on. He is indicating for nobody to let there guard down.

where did you get that? I can't find it

I see no evidence of due north after it re-emerges. NW, maybe some NNW and WNW wobbles.

[jamima]

North or Northeast What???

[HollynLA]

Isn't it funny how those from Florida still insist on the NHC track and want to deny the westward movement,

Anyway, just wanted to point that out, I have no idea where the damn thing is going.

Those from florida and anybody else believes the officials and the OFFICIAL info. I find it funny how people try and second guess the NHC.

[wxwonder12]

It's funny how HollynLa doubts the NHC track too!!!!

[HollynLA]

Well, which track would that be? The one to Panama City yesterday, or the one to Mobile this morning, Pensacola now?

How about their Cindy track earlier this week sending it to Texas? Yeah, that worked out great! Do you really believe that the track is not going to change?

If I bet on a game and changed my bets as the game took place, don't you think I'd do pretty well?

and earlier, when Dennis was moving between NNW and NW, you were probably insisting on the NHC's track. Look, it goes both ways, it gets us no where with people pointing this out. No reason to "join sides" on this; this isn't a game or a competition. It's ridiculous the way some of you have acted this week.

My rant is done.

[wxwonder12]

Sounds like you are getting a little frantic and need to calm down until the track stops "jumping" back and forth. It will be ok

I agree, It reminds me of when my kids argue....grrrrrrr

[Eyes2theSkies]

all bets are off untill it gets in the gulf it could move south for 2 hours and it still wouldnt mean anything untill it gets back over the water. all this over analization is a moot point. just my opinion
