Dean is now a category four hurricane. At 9:30pm tonight the NHC issued a special statement announcing the the recon plane out there now had measured winds estimated at the surface of 145mph. This measurement was used for the 11pm advisory.
The pressure has dropped about 25mb over the past six hours as well as the wind radii expanding in all quadrants.
Jamaica is the next land mass in the forecast track. The official forecast maintains category four status. As far as US landfall it is too early to tell, but at this time there are no expectations of any direct impact from Dean on Florida.
