Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West


And now as of 5pm...150mph hour!

It will interesting to see what affects Cuba has on this... The elevations of Cuba are not nearly as tall as Hisp. They do not disrupt the boundary layer flow as they only extend to around 1,500' on the western end of the island. This should impede some on the circulation, but I believe fully that a very dangerous and powerful hurricane will emerge on the northern coast of Cuba. After that, wow - this goes bodily across the Loop Current with almost no shear in the deep layer.
