Re: Gustav Inland in Louisiana, Hurricane Hanna moving WSW, Tropical Storm Ike Forms in Atlantic

I agree it looks like its starting to move alittle now more to the southwest. these models still dont have a good handle on this. As you can see that the ukmet has its own way putting this closer to florida and the other models taking it more on a northwest into the carolinas. With this southwest movement going on right now I say the ukmet has a better idea of what this storm is going to do then the other models that just my thinking i might be wrong but if you look these models and the movement of the storm the ukmet so far is right on !
