Tropical Storm Dean Update - 15 August 2007 - 05:30 Hrs USA CDT
Tropical Storm Dean has slowed, as anticipated, to 18 miles per hour and is continuing in it's generally westerly track. It has taken a slightly more southern course and is now intensifying. Central core sustained winds are at 52 miles per hour and this will further develop with the storm probably becoming a Hurricane by the weekend. Conditions at this time, are supporting that development.
With the current track and very little land mass to get in it's way for at least 3 to 4 days, this storm is one to watch carefully. Our next update will be posted as further development takes place. Until then, persons from the Carolinas to southern Florida and all along the US Gulf Coast should monitor this storm diligently. Whether or not this storm makes a US landfall, coastal residents should have their Hurricane and Evacuation plans in place due to the general increasing activity in the western Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
