The latest satellite images I’ve seen of Hurricane Dean put it smack over the middle of Mexico. But the image covers nearly 20 degrees of latitude with clouds associated with Dean. With it’s speed, I’m wondering if it is going to cross Mexico and enter the warm Pacific Ocean and rebuild strength. I’m guessing NOAA will have to decide whether to keep the same name or give it a new one from the Eastern Pacific list of storms.
Hurricane Dean has kept a pretty straight path west along lat. 20 North for quite a while. Another 3,000 miles west lies the Hawaiian Islands. Hmmm. A very interesting day of observations coming up for me.
