Tropical Depression # 5 ....soon to be Emily, is approx. 2600 miles from Cape Coral at 10 pm Monday. Unfortunately, Emily's path will most likely track North of that which Hurricane Dennis traversed. With the Carribean SST's outside Dennis' path running well above normal for July, the only hope to retard the development of this storm is the rugged mountain ranges of the Dominican Republic (Hispanola) and/or Eastern Cuba. Without substantial interaction with these land masses, we will most likely have another powerful hurricane approaching the Fl. Straits by late Sunday or Monday paralleling the North coast of Cuba. Interestingly, the final position of Dennis this week in the Ohio or Tennesee Valleys may affect whether or not Emily hits South Fl. or continues further West to make landfall in Texas or Louisiana. This is because Dennis is trapped and although it will weaken daily, it's vast circulation will carve a trof in betwwen the 2 high pressure ridges over the Rockies and off the South Atlantic Coast. The strength and ultimate position of that cut-off trof will determine the posiition of the Atlantic High which will ultimately become the steering mechanism (Traffic Cop) directing Emily.
