hanna is a threat to florida around mid week next week due to a track that wants to take a southerly turn around wed. that would place it in the central and southern bahamas and not a good placement for florida. we need to monitor this storm! some models take it further south or hang in the open atlantic...i'll take either one of those solutions vs. coming to the sunshine state.

gustav still needs to be watched even thought the official track is for louisiana and texas to take the harder hit from this storm. some models bring it into our panhandle instead so please keep up with this storm too. it is forecasted to become a major hurricane.

you holiday weekend will have afternoon thunderstorms all three days, with a higher coverage expected sudnay and monday afternoon and evening. the best thing you can do is get out the door early so you can have sunshine and some dry hours before things begin to change.

keep up with the tropics....see you monday!

Hey Jim your doing an OK job up there but I find that I am wanting to know about rain fall! Both in NO and for us later this week , how much water is in that storm and where/when is it going to fall. It looks like the big Easy is catching a bit of a break because Gustov is going to move to the west (instead of straight up the Mississippi river) so some of the water will be farther way...unless the storm moves very slowly across the delta....and I am worried about how much water Hanna is going to bring here! SR 50 is about to go under if we get any more rain on the east side of Orange county.

HWRF and GFDL now agree with UKMET and GFS and bring Hanna into New Smyrna area and ride North. I have not seen these models so tight until now.
