Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West

I don't believe that western Cuba will take much of a bite out of him, as I understand this region is fairly flat (understandably). I think he should approach cat 5 before weakening prior to landfall as it hits some of the warm eddies in the GOM. Some encouraging news on the Hanna front, the Canadien has shifted east on the 12z run, which was further west on the 0z. Hopefully the ECM will follow suit. But we will probably see them go back and forth over the next few days.
