Re: gustav looking strange on loops

I don't claim to be any expert but can someone enlighten me on what kinds of impact on Gus does that trough in the middle of the Gulf would have in the next day or two? That trough seems to be going further sought and may block Gus for going west.
Am I seeing this correctly?



Well it can go one of two ways really. The trough is going to create a weakspot between the high pressure that's currently over Florida and the High pressure that is moving south from the US. Depending on the timing of how everything comes together, Gus can follow that weakspot slightly and turn north or possibly slightly NE, but if the High pressure from up in the middle of the US gets into place in time before Gus can latch onto the trough, it will most likely cause Gus to stall a little, and turn more west than the tracks are showing right now.
