Once this thing hits the gulf i know it will strengthen but how much does everyone think it will?? I predict it will be pretty significant and it will go back up to at least high category 3.

Quick notes from the 9:00 conference call.. all of this will be "official" on the 10:00 pm advisory.
Winds down to 95 knots
Pressure up to 962 mb
Latest position 23.0 N 82.1 W
Moving 310 degrees (NW) at 12 knots
Little change in forecast movement and track
Model consensus is still around Mobile to Pensacola
Considerable degradation over Cuba; even though satellite presentation showed "significant degradation," the inner core is still tight, and thus should lead to a quick reintensification once back over water.
Models... and are to the right of the track; the UKMET is to the left
Bottom line is no real change to previous thinking....

Does anyone know how to get English radio over the Net out of Havanna? I mean, does some Canadian or Mexican or anybody other than a US Citizen know how to get Havanna English radio? I assume there must be English Havanna radio, but......Oh well, I will quickly digrese to my political views.

mbfly, Local news and a couple of web sites just announced it at 9:30 CDT.
Well, obviously I will need to pay attention at the upcoming report at 10 pm...... especially since I was planning on hunkering down right here in west Mobile !!!

I have never heard any english stations out of Cuba. There may be some; but certainly not any of the booming clear channel stations on AM radio.

Does this thing move more north during the day and more west at night? It's northwest motion is so unpredictable...

My rough guess is that at current motion and speed, Denis emerges from Cuba in about two-three hours. I am sure he has left a very nasty swath through Cuba. I was listening to what i could get from the hurricane net on my ham radio early. My antenna stinks, so I really was unable to pick up any of the Cuban stations. Was hearing mostly reports from the Keys, though.

Thanks for that post, Frank. I'm not even going to ask you how you got in on the conference call; you might have to kill me. 
So basically, everyone's in the same boat we were 6 hours ago. At least most of us knowwhat to expect. I just hope it doesn't bomb out again on it's way up to the Panhandle. My heart really goes out to everyone up there in harms way.
Check back in a little while.

Does anyone know if the powers that be (NWS, , etc.) buy discount keyboards that have stuck Caps-Lock keys? Very minor nit-pick, I know, but why in the heck are all the advisories in all caps? Sorry, this is probably WAY OT...

Anything in the recent advisories/conference calls/etc. to explain the "little bump" in the model?

Got to give kudos to the , thus far they have pretty much nailed this storm relative to its projected track... now they are going to have to earn their pay because a lot of lives are at stake..... I think the forecast track may have shifted a few miles west, but basically insignificant... For Pensacola's sake I hope it starts trending back to the east... boy, I just can't image the stress on those poor people...

Holdover from the teletype weather wire days. I think it is an international standard that advisories be issued in all caps. Probably would have to be a change at the World Meteorlogical Organization level to change it.
