Gaston has really organized overnight. I will not be surprised if it attains minimal hurricane intensity, even though the most likely scenario would be of a strong tropical storm. As I said yesterday in another thread, if it stays over water longer than forecast, it could strengthen more and strike further north. NE United States should be monitoring its progress...if the ridge doesn't push it westward before the trough closes in on it...

Gaston blowing up and organizing!
Wouldn't bee surprised to see 60-75 mph at landfall. Still think more West around Georgia and SC coastline.

11 AM advisory on TS Gaston
Tropical Storm Gaston Advisory Number 4
Statement as of 11:00 am EDT on August 28, 2004
...Tropical Depression Seven becomes Tropical Storm Gaston...
...Tropical Storm Warning issued...
at 11 am EDT...a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect along the South
Carolina coast from the Savannah River to Little River Inlet.
A tropical storm watch remains in effect elsewhere along the
southeastern U.S. Coast north of Little River Inlet to Surf City
North Carolina...and south of the Savannah River to Fernandina
Beach Florida.
At 11 am EDT...1500z...the center of Tropical Storm Gaston was
located near latitude 31.4 north...longitude 78.5 west or about
130 miles southeast of Charleston South Carolina.
Gaston is currently drifting westward. A slow motion toward the
west or west-northwest is expected during the next 24 hours. This
motion could bring the center of Gaston near the South Carolina
coast on Sunday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph...with higher gusts.
Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours. An
Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled to
investigate Gaston this afternoon.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 60 miles mainly to
the east of the center.
Estimated minimum central pressure is 1009 mb...29.80 inches.
Tides of 1 to 3 feet above normal can be expected in the warning
area.
Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches...with locally higher amounts...
can be expected along the path of Gaston.
Repeating the 11 am EDT position...31.4 N... 78.5 W. Movement
toward...drifting westward. Maximum sustained
winds... 40 mph. Minimum central pressure...1009 mb.
For storm information specific to your area...please monitor
products issued by your local weather office.
An intermediate advisory will be issued by the National Hurricane

Tropical Storm Gaston Discussion Number 4
Statement as of 11:00 am EDT on August 28, 2004
Morning visible satellite imagery shows that Tropical Depression
Seven has significantly increased in organization...with a curved
convective band wrapped halfway around the center. Satellite
intensity estimates are 45 kt from SAB and 35 kt from TAFB. The
depression is thus upgraded to Tropical Storm Gaston with 35 kt
winds. An Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft is scheduled
to investigate the system this afternoon.
The initial motion is a westward drift...270/2. Steering currents
are current weak. However...large-scale models suggest that a
ridge will build over the Atlantic northeast of the storm...
followed by a deep-layer trough moving eastward into the eastern
United States. This combination should allow for a slow
west-northwestward motion...followed in about 36-48 hr by
recurvature to the northeast and then acceleration. Guidance
generally agrees with the direction...although there is some spread
on the speed. The forecast track is a little to the right and a
little faster than the previous forecast during the first 48 hr...
and then somewhat slower thereafter.
An upper-level ridge is over Gaston at this time...and the shear is
light. Thus...steady strengthening is expected until landfall...
with the landfall intensity of 50 kt being a compromise between the
stronger ships and the weaker GFDL. Gaston should weaken after
landfall...then become extratropical over the Atlantic to the east
of the mid-Atlantic states.
The forecast track and wind radii require tropical storm warnings
for the South Carolina coast at this time. Due to the relatively
slow motion during the first 48 hr...there is a potential for heavy
rains along the track of Gaston.
