Re: Gustav Approaching Louisiana, Hanna Slowly Drifting Westward

You know it's become very windy this afternoon in Miami and it's beginning to get hard to ignore Hanna.

Week ahead has Tuesday PM, Wed and Thursday and rainy and WIND...

Something about Hanna going SSW not just SW bugs me. It might only be 3 mph but its a trend in storms this year to the strength of the high that both Gustav and Hanna went south when things got tough with the high.

How much longer will it go SSW and how far west will it get with that movement? It's as if from the moment she became a hurricane our weather got windier.

Wondering what the graphics will show at 11.

Hard for me to buy a sharp left turn. Yes, NHC was good with Gustav but Hanna has been hard to define even by their own description.
