Re: Gustav Approaching Louisiana, Hanna Slowly Drifting Westward

FNMOC have TD9 as Ike, and have had for an hour or two. The disturbance off Africa, 99L, is still labelled as 99L both on FNMOC and NRL, so not looking like it will get the upgrade at 5pm. However, with the satellite presentation as it is, it stands a good shot of getting the upgrade as early as 11pm. Recon in Hanna have reported FL winds of 90kts / 104mph. Based on the improving organisation and the data, it looks like Hanna could go Cat 2 in the next 6 hours.
