Hurricane Gustav

The final landfall location of Gustav depends on the strength and speed of a trough of low pressure forecast to move across the Midwest U.S. late this week. At present, there is no way to guess which location in the Gulf of Mexico is the most likely. Keep in mind that the cone of uncertainty is correct only about 2/3 of the time--1/3 of the time, we can expect the storm's position to be in error by more than what the cone of uncertainty suggests.

A tropical disturbance (95L) near 21N 57W, a few hundred miles east-northeast of Puerto Rico, remains weak and disorganized. However, if this disturbance survives the next 24 hours, it could develop and be a problem for Bermuda this weekend and the U.S. East Coast next week.

Elsewhere in the tropics
Most of the computer models forecast the development of two more tropical waves between Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands in the coming week, and it is possible we will have three or four simultaneous named storms in the Atlantic a week from now.
