my question is how long does the high pressure gennerally stay there, and/or does it (the pressure) weaken? hurricane dean has yet to reach the gulf coast, is it possible for that pressure to change before the hurricane is actually in the gulf?

It's not always that way. It's just in this case an upper level high pressure area in the atmosphere is building westward north of the hurricane. The westerly wind flow on the southern part of the high pressure area (winds flow clockwise around a high) will keep Dean on a westward course. Eventually the high will weaken/move away, but by then Dean should have met his demise over the higher terrain of Mexico.

I am in Texas as well and if you watch the weather channel in your area, you will learn things can change at a moments notice in any direction...
It seems like the rain will hit us on Monday or Tuesday...
Houston is experiencing flooding as well as San Antonio...
I am in Austin and we are experiencing heat...
Go figure...
