Hurricane Dean Chugs Toward Carribean - Gulf

Dean is now a hurricane in the western Atlantic- and continues moving westward at 20-25 mph- fast for a Category 1 storm.

You can see by the extrapolated 5-day path forecast that on Day 5- Dean clears the Yucatan and makes it into the Gulf.

Present forecasts are Dean will continue to strengthen- possibly becoming a Category 4 before reaching Mexico's Yucatan.

Fill up your vehicles and gas cans folks....
