Re: gustav looking to the right of the latest runs

I think there are two things the NHC are looking at with their NW track as opposed to a N track. There is another high pressure center coming down through the US towards the gulf coast. Since high pressure centers have a clockwise motion...this could catch Gus in it's steering current just like the one is right now that is positioned over Florida. Also, there is a trough area over TX that is also attractive to tropical cyclones, the question is, will the HPC move south fast enough to catch Gus in it's current before Gus makes landfall?
