Gustav To Take Aim At U.S. Gulf Coast



Gustav- now just a tropical storm- is forecast by the hurricane models to veer south of Cuba and enter the Gulf of Mexico in the next few days.

In the Gulf- Gustav is forecast to reach at least category-4 strength.
The 2 operational hurricane models (shown here) indicate a landfall somewhere in the vicinity of New Orleans early next week.
Regardless- all interests along the U.S. Gulf coast should keep informed on Gustav- and make preliminary preparations for a possible landfall around Labor Day (Sept. 1).
