Dean Aiming South

With every new forecast, Hurricane Dean is looking like it will veer south. Last NOGAPS (and current NHC consensus) points it straight at Cancun. Current NOGAPS forecast points it even further south, towards Belize.

Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Erin is ashore in Texas.

And in Brisbane, NOGAPS is reducing its rain forecast, for some reason, while the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is increasing its rain forecast. I think BOM is right - there's already a big fat juicy area of clouds over western and SW Queensland, and northern NSW. They'll get some useful moisture out of the storm.

[Update] It's raining in Warwick. Desperately dry Warwick!
