Vindauga

Hurricane Gustav will make landfall in Louisiana tomorrow (Monday). I’ll say near Chauvin. This is bad news for Louisana and for New Orleans in particular. Thankfully, he weakened while crossing Cuba so it is unlikely that Gustav will be a Cat 4 storm when he comes ashore. However, his storm surge is likely to exceed Cat 3 standards on exactly the side that New Orleans will be in which case, the levees will fail. Sounds like a great Labor Day weekend.

Tropical Storm Hanna will annoy the Bahamas all week before becoming a Hurricane and heading for Savannah. But that is more than 5 days off an a lot can happen in the interim.

There is an area of disturbed weather that I believe is being referred to as 97L which is now West of the Cape Verde Islands. It has a high potential for developing into a storm of some kind. More as that develops.
