All weather eyes will be on Gustav this weekend.
If the current track and intensity forecasts hold, we may be looking at a major weather and news event early next week along the Gulf coast. Conditions in the path of Gustav favor a rapid intensification this weekend. Warm ocean waters and little shear should allow Gustav to reach major hurricane strength. The official NHC forecast call for a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 125 mph by Monday, but even NHC discussions indicate the possibility of a Cat 4 or 5.
