All clear?

According to KFDM Chief Meteorologist Greg Bostwick, Dean will likely pass near or over Jamaica late this evening and should pass a little south of Cancun Monday evening into Tuesday morning. After that, Dean should cross the Yucatan and make a final landfall Wednesday evening around Tampico, Mexico. (KFDM -TV)


There has been little change to the track forecast philosophy. The
initial motion is 280/16...with some embedded wobbles. As
the mid- to upper-level cyclone over the eastern Gulf of Mexico
continues to shift westward ahead of Dean...the future track of the
hurricane will be controlled largely by a deep-layer high pressure
system that is forecast to build over the southeastern United
States. The track guidance remains in good agreement on a continued
west-northwestward motion throughout the forecast period...
