Are you saying Gus is actually moving SSW?

If that's the case wouldn't that throw a major wrench at the projected NHC path?


I'm not saying it is because I'm using IR imagery (which isn't the best tool), but if it is I still don't think it will have a huge implication on track long term. But it sure looks like it's diving SW or even SSW

Still think Gustavo could go S. of Jamaica in my humbe, unproffesional opinion.

I also do believe it is pretty far S. of the current NHC points and very far South of the previous ones. Even looking at the newest color enhancements, still looks like the llc is under the convection and quite a bit southerly from forecast. How can someone not see this? It's not a wobble it's a pretty big shift. If not, why did the forecast points change so drastically?

have not seen any comments from the mets since it's made a comeback, it would be interesting to know their opinion if any are up still.

Really don't think it effects long term track? What about the fact that the slope of the models were very close, just the initializations were different? Looks to me that it could drastically change the final outcome to me.

Well, it looks like it's either going to go straight into Jamaica or perhaps under Jamaica....Doesn't look like it's going to go North of Jamaica at this point, unless it starts to turn more west within an hour or two.

I honestly don't think a lot of them expected this sort of rejuvenation and if they did I'm surprised they did not stay up a little longer to watch it.

I don't see how it cannot.

What are your opinions at this point cycloneye? I know you don't state opinions that often, usually just factual posts, but it's late and rather slow in here. This storm is vigorous right now and deserves to be discussed.

Its going to die over eastern cuba!..what a difference a few hours make on this forum :wink:


Why am I not surprised? ;)

In fact, I actually would have been surprised had something other than this convective blowup not happened...

There is still some shear present, and it may struggle to re-intensify for a day or so, but it's not going away anytime soon.

Wthrman13 checked in. :D

So why did some promets earlier talk about how weak it was and even hint that it may soon die? Is he really not surprised? I am and I have thought all along that Gustav was nowhere near death, but this regeneration is pretty quick and could spell huge differences even before tomorrow.

Looks like its intensifying and getting ready to hit Jamaica. They just have a tropical storm warning up; but at this rate I wonder if they may get a cat 1.

People are getting prepared. That is great!

you have NO idea how difficult it is right now to keep supplying gasoline to stations. Even in Lafayette hundreds of miles from a potential landfall it is just ridiculous. But it is even worse down by Chalmette where they are filling up drums with gasoline and burning through in an hour what usually takes a full day to sell.

I guess you could argue that the South movement is delaying the Westward progression. This could be mean Gustav could be further south with less influence from the trough which would allow the blocking High to build in turning it more westward in the long run?

Just a guess.

Let's talk about short term track and see who gets it right. N. of Jamaica (including skirting the N. Coast), direct hit on Jamaica, or S. of Jamaica? I think you know where I stand... South

Matt the forcast pts. earlier changed about .5'-.7' earlier thats about 30-42 miles really not that much.The LLC(low level circulation) is right on track.Look at the surface when you no longer can see the surface of the storm the storm has stacked properly and the clouds tops can be the predictor.We all said just a few hrs ago how sad this storm looked it has not stacked that fast and that well yet.

I'll say though the heart of Jamaica. It's hard for me to see any Hurricane sustaining a SW motion.
