Look at this forecast. Now the "official" track put out by NHC is in better agreement with the models. That's all except for the GFDL model which scoots Gustav across the Gulf in record time. 
It's joined by the UKMet (United Kingdom Meteorological Group) model and the Navy's NOGAPS. Remember NOGAPS from yesterday? It was the model that sent Gustav into Never-Never land. I guess it woke up today. Remember to click on the images to enlarge them.So what are AOC and the scientists from a number of groups doing to improve our forecasts. Well, we have set up a number of flights that begin tomorrow morning and continue until Gustav makes landfall. Please feel free to call our hurricane hot-line to find out what we are up to. Phone # and extension are: 1-800-729-6622 x3128. The ext. for G-IV ops is 3144.
Here's an image of Gustav to keep in mind. Small now, but potentially destructive later.
More tomorrow.
