And then there were two....

Whew.....what a day yesterday. After literally no sleep the night before due to the rain and winds, I got in to work at 1:40am and I did not leave News 14 until after 2pm. Came home, waved to my family, and took a nap for a couple of hours. After a calm evening, I think I am back to close to 100%.

At any rate, Gustav has begun the strengthening process once again and is looking pretty healthy this morning. I still am sticking with a most likely landfall spot between Lake Charles, LA and Pascagoula, MS. More generically, if you have interests on the Gulf coast between the upper Texas coast and the Florida Panhandle, you need to closely monitor Gustav.

I still think Gustav could become a major hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.

And, our next tropical disturbance, 95L, has become a tropical depression and will likely become Tropical Storm Hanna soon. The track guidance for this one is all over the place, but a generally NW or WNW motion should continue to a while before we see a bend back to the W or SW. This one could wind up impacting the Bahamas, Cuba, and/or the East coast. We will be talking much more about Hanna-to-be in the coming days.

Please note I have updated the information in the right-hand column....it is all auto-updating, and there is some good info there on Gustav and TD8.

What are the possibilities that Gustav and Hanna could hook up? Wouldn't THAT be a 'cute' scenario?

Haha....they should stay separated. Theoretically, one system would absorb the other if they got right by each other.
