GUSTAV!!!
Sunday, August 31st, 2008Hurricane Gustav is extremely dangerous right now. Its a Category three at the moment but expected to strengthen into a Cat four and maybe even landfall as a Cat four. Although it may weaken slightly before landfall because of possible increase of wind shear. The expected path takes it west of New Orleans. However, New Orleans will still have extreme storm surge, and hurricane force winds. The winds expected will probably be from 125mph- 145mph, depending on the strength of Gustav. The expected landfall time sometime from midday tomorrow to tomorrow evening. Gustav isn’t the only system out there, theres also Hanna, and a tropical wave expected to develop into a tropical depression in the next 48 hours. Hanna is a tropical storm right now, and its expected to strengthen slowly. The reason for the slow development is because of all of the wind shear Hanna is experiencing right now. Its looking like Hanna is going to give the east coast of Florida and the Carolinas some trouble. Its even possible it could give us some trouble later down the road.
Heres the projected path of Gustav.
As for weather around here. The next four days are looking great. It should be sunny, sunny, sunny!! Highs in the low to mid 80’s. The next threat for precipitation will be next weekend. Pooch of the week will be announced tomorrow! Check for updates later today and tomorrow.
