Re: Hurricane Gustav, Strengthening, Approaches Hati

It is easy to visualize the words in the discussion by studying the WV loop and a shift to the west is very imminent. However, what is the future of that High? If it remains in place for the next several days, the current steering is back over Florida, taking Gustav over the western edge of Cuba into the GOM and back to the NE...this is a very similar set up to Charlie in 2004. Someone else said timing is everything, and the push of that trough in the Southwest US to the east will be the big factor in how all this plays out.
