Hurricane Dennis was an unusually strong July major hurricane that left
a trail of destruction from the Caribbean Sea to the northern coast of
the Gulf of Mexico.

a.  Synoptic History

    Dennis formed from a tropical wave that moved westward from the
    coast of Africa on 29 June. The system began to organize on 2 July
    with the formation of a broad area of low pressure with two embedded
    swirls of low clouds. Convection increased near both low-level
    centers on 3 July. The western system moved through the southern
    Windward Islands on 4 July and lost organization over the
    southeastern Caribbean. The eastern system continued to develop,
    becoming a tropical depression over the southern Windward Islands
    near 1800 UTC 4 July. The "best track" chart of Dennis' path is
    given in Fig. 1, with the wind and pressure histories shown in Figs.
    2 and 3, respectively. The best track positions and intensities are
    listed in Table 1.

    The depression initially moved westward. It turned
    west-northwestward on 5 July as it became a tropical storm. Dennis
    reached hurricane strength early on 7 July, then rapidly intensified
    into a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 120 kt before making
    landfall near Punta del Ingles in southeastern Cuba near 0245 UTC 8
    July. During this intensification, the central pressure fell 31 mb
    in 24 h.

    Dennis weakened to a Category 3 hurricane while passing across
    southeastern Cuba. Once offshore in the Gulf of Guacanayabo, the
    hurricane moved west-northwestward parallel to the south coast of
    Cuba and again intensified to Category 4 status. Maximum sustained
    winds reached a peak of 130 kt at 1200 UTC 8 July, then decreased to
    120 kt before Dennis made landfall near Punta Mangles Altos, Cuba
    near 1845 UTC that day. Dennis then traversed a long section of
    western Cuba before emerging into the Gulf of Mexico just east of
    Havana around 0900 UTC 9 July. Dennis weakened significantly over
    Cuba, with the maximum sustained winds decreasing to 75 kt by the
    time the center left the island.

    Dennis gradually intensified for the next 6-12 h over the Gulf of
    Mexico, then began another cycle of rapid intensification near 1800
    UTC 9 July, accompanied by a turn toward the north-northwest. During
    this intensification, the central pressure fell 37 mb in 24 h,
    including 20 mb in 6 h and 11 mb in 1 h 35 min. Maximum sustained
    winds reached a third peak of 125 kt near 1200 UTC 10 July.
    Thereafter, weakening occurred, likely due to mid/upper-level dry
    air from the western Gulf of Mexico entrained into the hurricane.
    The maximum sustained winds decreased to 105 kt and the central
    pressure rose to 946 mb before Dennis made landfall on Santa Rosa
    Island, Florida, between Navarre Beach and Gulf Breeze, about 1930
    UTC 10 July.

    Dennis continued north-northwestward after landfall, with the center
    moving across the western Florida Panhandle into southwestern
    Alabama before it weakened into a tropical storm. It became a
    depression as it moved into east-central Mississippi on 11 July. The
    cyclone turned northward later that day and northeastward on 12 July
    as it moved into the Ohio Valley. On 13 July, Dennis weakened to a
    low pressure area, which meandered over the Ohio Valley through 15
    July. The Dennis-low accelerated northeastward on 16 July and was
    absorbed into a larger low over northwestern Ontario on 18 July.

b.  Meteorological Statistics

    Observations in Dennis (Figs. 2 and 3) include satellite-based
    Dvorak technique intensity estimates from the Tropical Analysis and
    Forecast Branch (TAFB), the Satellite Analysis Branch (SAB) and
    the U. S. Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA), as well as flight-level
    and dropwindsonde observations from flights of the 53^rd^ Weather
    Reconnaissance Squadron of the U. S. Air Force Reserve Command and
    the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center. Microwave satellite imagery
    from NOAA polar-orbiting satellites, the NASA Tropical Rainfall
    Measuring Mission (TRMM), the NASA QuikSCAT, the NASA Aqua, and
    Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites were also
    useful in tracking Dennis.

    The 53^rd^ Weather Reconnaissance Squadron made 43 center fixes on
    Dennis, with the NOAA aircraft contributing an additional 10 fixes.
    The maximum flight-level winds measured by the aircraft at 700 mb
    were 150 kt at 1325 UTC 8 July. Additionally, the aircraft measured
    700 mb flight-level winds of 134 kt at 2314 UTC 7 July and 140 kt at
    0801 UTC 10 July. Dropsondes in the eyewall of Dennis reported
    116-kt surface winds at 1515 UTC 10 July and 114 kt at 1705 UTC 8
    July. The minimum aircraft-reported central pressure was 930 mb at
    1143 UTC 10 July, with a 937 mb pressure measured at 1517 UTC 8
    July. The last aircraft-reported pressure near landfall was 946 mb
    at 1930 UTC 10 July.

    Ship reports of winds of tropical storm force associated with Dennis
    are given in Table 2, and selected surface observations from land
    stations and data buoys are given in Table 3.

    Dennis brought hurricane conditions to portions of southeastern
    Cuba, and to a swath through central and western Cuba (Table 3).
    Cabo Cruz reported 116-kt sustained winds with a gust to 129 kt at
    0200 UTC 8 July, with a minimum pressure of 956 mb at 0240 UTC just
    before the eye passed over the station. The anemometer was
    destroyed, and it is possible more extreme winds occurred. Unión de
    Reyes reported sustained winds of 96 kt with a gust to 107 kt at
    2350 UTC 8 July, and there are numerous other reports of sustained
    hurricane-force winds.

    Dennis also brought hurricane conditions to portions of the western
    Florida Panhandle and southwestern Alabama. An instrumented tower
    run by the Florida Coastal Monitoring Program (FCMP) at Navarre
    measured 1-min average winds (5-m elevation) of 86 kt and a gust to
    105 kt at 1921 UTC 10 July. This tower was a few miles east of the
    radius of maximum winds. Another FCMP tower at the Pensacola Airport
    measured 1-min average winds (10-m elevation) of 71 kt with a gust
    to 83 kt just west of the eye at 1946 UTC. A Florida Automated
    Weather Network station at Jay reported sustained winds of 62 kt at
    1845 UTC.

    While hurricane-force winds associated with Dennis covered only a
    small area near the eye, the hurricane had a large cyclonic envelope
    with tropical storm-force winds extending well to the east of the
    center over southern Florida and the Florida Panhandle. The Coastal
    Marine Automated Station (C-MAN) at Sand Key, Florida, reported
    10-min average winds (13.1-m elevation) of 54 kt with a gust to 68
    kt at 0820 UTC 9 July, while the C-MAN station at Sombrero Key,
    Florida, reported 2-min average winds (48.5-m elevation) of 64 kt
    with a gust of 76 kt at 0800 UTC 9 July. A National Ocean Service
    station at Panama City Beach, Florida, reported 6-min average winds
    (6.1-m elevation) of 51 kt with a gust to 63 kt at 1800 UTC 10 July.
    Tropical storm conditions also occurred over the metropolitan areas
    of southeastern Florida, elsewhere along the Florida west coast and
    the Florida Big Bend region, over portions of southwestern Alabama,
    and across Jamaica. Wind gusts to tropical-storm force occurred as
    far inland as eastern Mississippi and as far west as southeastern
    Louisiana.

    Shipping avoided the intense core of Dennis. The highest marine wind
    was 56 kt at 2300 UTC 8 July from the **Caribbean Princess**.

    The lowest official pressure from any land station was 956 mb at
    Cabo Cruz, Cuba, at 0240 UTC 8 July. The FCMP tower at the Pensacola
    Airport measured a pressure of 956.3 mb at 1943 UTC 10 July, while
    the FCMP tower in Navarre measure a pressure of 965.2 mb at 1909 UTC
    that day. A storm chaser in Pace, Florida, measured an unofficial
    pressure of 945 mb at 1910 UTC 10 July as the eye passed over.

    Dennis produced a storm surge of 6-7 ft above normal tide levels on
    Santa Rosa Island near where the center made landfall. This surge
    overwashed Santa Rosa Island near and west of Navarre Beach. A storm
    surge of 6-9 ft above normal tide levels occurred in Apalachee Bay,
    Florida, which inundated parts of the town of St. Marks and other
    nearby areas (Figure 4). This surge was higher than currently known
    wind reports would support for that area, and roughly 3.5 ft higher
    that the surge forecast from the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from
    Hurricanes (SLOSH) model. This surge was likely triggered by an
    oceanic trapped shelf wave that propagated northward along the
    Florida west coast. Modeling results from the Center for
    Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies at Florida State University
    suggest that although Dennis was roughly 150 n mi west of the area,
    this remotely generated sea-level rise added 3-4 ft to the surge in
    and around Apalachee Bay. (Reference: Personal communication with
    James O'Brien, Steve Morey, and Dimitri Dukhovskoy, COAPS, FSU.) A
    storm surge of 4-6 ft occurred elsewhere in the Florida Panhandle.
    Storm surges of 3-5 ft above normal tide levels occurred elsewhere
    along the Florida west coast, in the Florida Keys, and along the
    coast of Alabama. Tides of 2-4 ft above normal were reported along
    the coasts of Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana. Storm surge
    data from Cuba are currently not available.

    Dennis produced widespread heavy rainfall over Cuba. Topes de
    Collantes reported a 24-h total of 27.67 in, while Las Piedra
    reported a 24-h total of 15.13 in. Storm totals for both places were
    likely higher. Rainfalls of 6-12 in were reported from other Cuban
    stations. Very heavy rains also occurred in Jamaica, where Mavis
    Bank reported a storm total of 24.54 in and Shirley Castle reported
    a total of 23.27 in (Table 4). In the United States, Dennis produced
    widespread heavy rainfall along the track from the western Florida
    Panhandle to the Ohio Valley, and east of the track in Georgia and
    the remainder of Florida. A station 10 miles northwest of Camden,
    Alabama, reported a storm total rainfall of 12.80 in, while
    Monticello, Florida, reported 6.95 in (Table 4).

    So far, Dennis is known to have caused nine tornadoes in Florida and
    one in Georgia. All were rated F0 except for an F1 near Bradenton,
    Florida. Additionally, numerous strong squalls occurred in the outer
    bands of Dennis over southern Florida. These produced a gust of 73
    kt at the Fowey Rocks C-MAN station and a gust of 63 kt at Chekika
    in southern Miami-Dade County.

c.  Casualty and Damage Statistics

    Reports from Meteorological Service of Jamaica and the media
    indicate Dennis is directly responsible for 42 deaths -- 22 in
    Haiti, 16 in Cuba, 3 in the United States, and 1 in Jamaica. The
    fatalities in the U. S. included a drowning on a sunken boat in the
    Florida Keys, a drowning in rough surf at Dania Beach, Florida, and
    a man crushed by a falling tree near Atlanta, Georgia. Dennis was
    also indirectly responsible for twelve deaths in Florida -- two from
    electrocution, two from carbon monoxide poisoning, four from
    automobile accidents, two accidental falls during clean-up, and two
    cases of natural causes exacerbated by storm stress.

    The American Insurance Services Group estimates the insured property
    damage in the United States at \$1.115 billion. Based on a doubling
    of this figure to account for uninsured property damage, the
    total U. S. damage estimate for Dennis is \$2.23 billion. The
    Meteorological Service of Jamaica estimates the damage from Dennis
    at 1.9 billion Jamaican dollars (approximately \$31.7 million U. S.
    dollars).

d.  Forecast and Warning Critique

    Average official track errors (with the number of cases in
    parentheses) for Dennis were 25 (26), 36 (26), 51 (26), 61 (26), 65
    (22), 74 (18), and 154 (14) n mi for the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and
    120 h forecasts, respectively. These errors are significantly lower
    than the average official track errors for the 10-yr period
    1995-2004[^1] (42, 75, 107, 138, 202, 236, and 310 n mi,
    respectively), (Table 5). These errors were also lower than the
    corresponding track forecast errors for the vast majority of the
    guidance, as none of the models consistently outperformed the
    official forecasts.

    Average official intensity errors were 11, 18, 16, 16, 23, 16, and
    37 kt for the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h forecasts,
    respectively. For comparison, the average official intensity errors
    over the 10-yr period 1995-2004 are 6, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, and 22
    kt, respectively. The relatively large intensity errors mainly
    resulted from underforecasting how quickly Dennis would intensify
    over both the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.

Table 6 gives the watches and warnings associated with Dennis.

Figure 2. Selected wind observations and best track maximum sustained
surface wind speed curve for Hurricane Dennis, 4-13 July 2005. Aircraft
observations have been adjusted for elevation using 90% and 80%
reduction factors for observations from 700 mb and 850 mb, respectively.
Dropwindsonde observations include actual 10 m winds (sfc), as well as
surface estimates derived from the mean wind over the lowest 150 m of
the wind sounding (LLM), and from the sounding boundary layer mean
(MBL). Objective Dvorak estimates represent linear averages over a
three-hour period centered on the nominal observation time. Solid
vertical lines indicate times of landfall.
