Forecast Discussion:

Gustav is rapidly approaching the Gulf coast. Isolated afternoon showers will be possible tomorrow and Tuesday but nothing widespread is expected. We should remain partly sunny most of the week with a few scattered clouds from Gustav entering the bluegrass towards the latter half of the week. Our best chance of rain should come this weekend as we might get a double dose of tropical rain from the remnants of Gustav and Hanna.

Forecast review from Yesterday:

Me: 66 91
NWS: 64 89
Accuweather: 64 91
Weathechannel: 65 89
WKYT: 63 89
WLEX: 63 90
WTVQ: 65 89
WYMT: 64 88

Actual: 68 90

Once again an Isolated Shower busted my forecast, although once again London stayed dry. I'm including Isolated Shower chances for the next two days due to the NAM forecast model, although knowing my luck nothing will pop :P. Anyways Temp wise I was closest to the low but congrats to WLEX for nailing the High.

Tropical Discussion:

Going to keep this short since there is not much to stay. Gustav is still a strong Cat 3 with sustained wind at 115mph near the core. Here is a look at Sat/Rad composite with Lightning data for the last 15 minutes as of 10:20 EST time. The Red box is a tornado watch in effect until 7AM tomorrow morning.


And finally a look at Hanna as predicted by the Canadian forecast Model on Friday.

If that happens watch out Southeast coast of the US. Also the tropics are also active with two waves showing signs of possible development... more on that later, until then have a good one.
