Gustav is a tropical storm now, but could return to hurricane strength. Here’s part of the 5am update:

AT 500 AM EDT…0900Z…THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 18.6 NORTH…LONGITUDE 73.5 WEST OR ABOUT 80
MILES…125 KM…WEST OF PORT AU PRINCE HAITI AND ABOUT 155 MILES…
250 KM…SOUTHEAST OF GUANTANAMO CUBA.

GUSTAV HAS NOT MOVED MUCH DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS…BUT IS
EXPECTED TO RESUME A MOTION TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 5
MPH…7 KM/HR SOON. A WEST-NORTHWEST TO WEST TRACK IS FORECAST
DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN FORWARD
SPEED. ON THE FORECAST TRACK…GUSTAV SHOULD PASS BETWEEN JAMAICA
AND THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST OF CUBA ON THURSDAY.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN NEAR 60 MPH…95 KM/HR…WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. SLOW STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST AND GUSTAV COULD REGAIN
HURRICANE STRENGTH ON THURSDAY ONCE IT MOVES AWAY FROM HAITI.

The center of the forecast track places Gustav between Cuba and Jamaica, finally making landfall somewhere in western Cuba before heading into the Gulf. Chances of this storm impacting Florida are looking pretty low.
