Seems Gus is giving the NHC fits.Here we are at almost 9am.and he is still heading NW.Gus did not do what the NHC thought it would do,proving once again that these storms have a mind of their own.Given that it is STILL heading NW,all bets are off.




It's not all that off really, probably the biggest thing will be how slowly or quickly the storm starts moving again. If it starts moving quickly the westward scenario is more likely, if it continues to be slow, more uncertainty and probably further east. The entire gulf needs to watch it right now, I'm not sold on the models at all right now.

Like Fay, wait until Saturday to get a better picture and avoid getting hyped up.




According to the NHC Gus was suppose to be south of Cuba by now.I am not completely sold on this being a GOM storm,although that is still the most likely scenario.Until and if it moves more west,all of Florida needs to keep an eye on him.This thing is STILL east of SE Florida.
