Re: Cat3 30' storm surge

Gus is turning to the west though..the heading at 5 was 305 degrees, vs 315 degrees yesterday and 310 this am.....when its heading is 300 degrees or less, it will officially be wnw, and over the last hour that is evident..also, the last to position plots show movement .2 degrees north, .4 degrees west...........




If I didn't know better, looking at the AVN satellite loop, I'd say Gustav's LLC was trying to reform southwest of Haiti, back in the Caribbean. It's a very odd looking storm right now. Convection does not appear to have weakened overall, but only over the land areas (not surprising)... so it will be very interesting to see what the overall impact is to the core.
