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.




It's a gulf storm, just where in the Gulf, too much keeping it to the south, it'll trudge westward maybe, but I don't see how it could affect South Florida with the current setup, or even get north of Cuba.




It is most likely a GOM storm,but I am not going to bet the farm on that yet.Simple for the fact that it has not turned west yet and is still well to the se of Florida.Look at the NHC's track yesterday,it should not be where it is now,and it should not still be heading NW.That ridge is not going to hold indefinitely.
