The last couple of vis sat pics are showing a convective burst very near the center which indicates to me that re-intensification may be already underway. Gustav remains a rather small, compact system and, as he moves farther West away from land and over some very warm and deep water, I'd expect some pretty good ramp up in strength. Fay didn't churn up the waters there much with SSTs still 30 - 31 degrees Celsius. I also would not be surprised at a slightly south of west track for a time later tonight or early tomorrow.
