Re: gustav looking strange on loops

Sorry , but its on its forecasted (not only by me) movement. Its moving slowly west or just north of due west. There is no strong cold front to push out the Bahama-Florida ridge. There never is this time of year (July-Aug) unless a cold front or a midlevel trough digs down into the central or eastern gulf (and there isnt) to cause any tropical storms near Cuba or in the GOM to move towards Florida (east of 85W). It's simple Meteorology001 classwork. The Panhandle-N.O. isnt out of the woods.
