You can go to weather underground for one.

Click on the radar then slide out the options on the left side and select the long range view (248nm).

Gustav is struggling right now. Radar shows her entraining a huge gobble of dry air SE of the eye, with the southern eyewall on the verge of collapse.


I think what you're seeing there is the southern eyewall still partially on land.

I do not see that at all. He looks very much intact and poised to strengthen once again.

Well it now looks like Southeast, Texas is going to be spared a direct hit from Ol Gus. With the current forecast track, I doubt we will see much in the way of Gus here in Montgomery County. I sure am glad of that. Now it's off to the ranch tomorrow in Madison County to get some work done! Man it's been a long week of discussions and model watching. I'm glad I can breath a sigh of relief now.

Prayers outbound for all that are effected by Gus. It looks like he is going to pack a punch!

IMHO, I don't think that Gustav will have that much of a problem coming back to almost where he was previously. Nothing has seemed to have knocked him down so far.


Spoke to my Dad down on Big Pine. It's stormy, he's had some decent gusts, but he's been through worse than this many times. Run-of-the-mill for them down there.

This water vapor loop shows how the eyewall is starting to once again climb up.

Of course it's strengthening, past history shows that Gustav always bombs out after leaving land.

Yeah, I think it's moving too fast for any last minute surpises for us. It looks pretty much like a lock for SC or SE LA at this point. I really feel for NOLA and the southern parishes.

That said, we could be in for a major flood event over Texas. That in itself could be a big event later next week.

If I was on Big Pine right now, I'd be at the No Name Pub eating pizza. I did not want to be there when Georges rolled through though.

I think there's a curl of clouds into the eastern part of the eye. The entire eye is probably slightly more east than that IR shot makes it look. The core and eye are starting to take a donut shape. Would not be surprised to see buzzsaw over loop current from this. Quick recovery soon.

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=SANF1 bouy showing sustained winds 45-50 mph but......it is elevated........i would think it would be EZ for these winds to come down to the surface in squalls .....

and nobody evacuated in key west, i'm sure some tourists left, but key west did not ask them to as far as i heard per NHC
