As of the 5:00 p.m. National Weather Service advisory, Jeanne has been downgraded to a tropical depression. The mountains of Hispaniola had the desired effect. She still may re-strengthen so we're not out of the woods yet, but this is certainly good news.
Here's a bit from the NOAA discussion:
"A USAF RESERVE UNIT AIRCRAFT LOCATED THE CENTER JUST OFFSHORE FROM HISPANIOLA WITH 1002 MB CENTRAL PRESSURE AND MAXIMUM 700-MB FLIGHT LEVEL WINDS OF ONLY 34 KT NORTHEAST AND NORTHWEST OF THE CENTER. JEANNES INTERACTION WITH LAND HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL AND THE STORM IS
DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION BASED ON THIS DATA."

Also, Karl has not been forming to well either.
