Early Morning Dennis Update...
* Dennis continues to intensify in the Caribbean Sea. Here are the latest numbers on Dennis from the National Hurricane Center's 1 AM update:Location: 16.7 N 74.2 W
Winds: 85 mph
Pressure: 975 mb (28.79")
Movement: WNW 15
* Dennis will likely hit Jamaica later today as a Category 2 hurricane. The storm will likely continue on a west-northwesterly track, eventually moving over western Cuba and into the southern Gulf of Mexico. From there, it will continue moving through the Gulf, likely making landfall somewhere along the northern Gulf Coast late Sunday or early Monday.
* For a full rundown of satellite and radar images, model output, and webcams, be sure to check out the Info Desk on Dennis:

* While it's far too early to pinpoint an exact landfall point, we do believe the highest risk area right now runs from roughly New Orleans, LA to Panama City, FL. Let me say up front that this could be a potentially historic July hurricane along the northern Gulf Coast. I urge anyone who has plans to visit the coast this weekend/early next week to watch our website, blog, and television broadcasts for the latest.
