Re: Storm structure

Re: hwood

Gustav is a small, compact system. The central core may expand a little due to the interaction with Haiti, but once clear of that influence, should tighten up and intensify rapidly again. Small storms like this seem to be more sensitive to nuances in the steering currents than larger storms (re: Charley) and tend to be more variable in intensity - they "pulse." Gustav is going to be very interesting to watch over the next few days and will, I believe, be a very dangerous storm.
