Tropical storm Fay finished it’s zig zag parade around and across Florida just in time for tropical storm Gustav to form in the Caribbean.
AT 500 PM EDT…2100Z…THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 16.3 NORTH…LONGITUDE 71.0 WEST OR ABOUT 180
MILES…290 KM…SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF PORT AU PRINCE HAITI.GUSTAV IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 14 MPH…22 KM/HR…AND
A GRADUAL DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. ON THE FORECAST TRACK THE CENTER OF GUSTAV WILL BE MOVING
NEAR OR OVER HAITI ON TUESDAY.MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 60 MPH…95 KM/HR…WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS…AND
GUSTAV COULD BECOME A HURRICANE PRIOR TO MOVING OVER LAND.
The center of the current track takes Gustav across Haiti and down the center of Cuba. Time, of course, will tell.
Stay tuned.
