Dean is building a little speed, as it jumped up to 70mph sustained winds, and looks like it will be a Cat 2 Hurricane by the weekend. I'd be canceling those plans of heading the US Virgin Islands.

Here, they're saying a Cat 4 by Monday, and could hit Texas or Mexico. Probably different on another channel...:dunno:

Just keep an eye on the barometric pressure HERE. If it gets lower than Texas or Mexico......:creepy:

Back during the storms of 2005, I recall reading that the trail of a storm will have a lower barometric pressure than the surrounding area, thereby acting as a pull for any trailing storms. Looking at the tracking map, it appears to be backing up what I heard. However, I am sure that many factors could play a roll changing paths of the trailing storm.

Yes, since TSs are low pressure they tend to stay with low pressure areas. High barometric pressure will push them away.
