Re: Gustav Approaching Louisiana, Hanna Slowly Drifting Westward

Since Hanna is a stronger storm than predicted, wouldn't she be more influenced by Gustav's outflow and head in a more southwestern direction before the ridge builds in? It seems like the UKMET is the only model that has consistantly kept her on a southwest course before the northern turn. The NHC discussion and Max Mayfield point out that because of the reliability of this model, this is the reason the NHC track is to the west of the consensous of the tracks.
