Dean expected to pass well south

[NewsWhore]

The present five-day forecast issued by the US National Hurricane Center and most other forecasters, shows Hurricane Dean passing sufficiently south of the island of Hispaniola to avoid affecting both the DR and Haiti. Hurricane hunting reconnaissance flights are going out today, and their reports will provide input for more accurate predictions. So far, a subtropical ridge is holding the storm south.
