We finally have a 'cane worthy of attention. Gustav is tracking south of Haiti and Cuba. Predicted track directs it for just east of New Orleans (where Katrina made landfall). Currently Gustav is not a hurricane. But its track puts it constatly across 84 degree (29 degree) water all the way to landfall as demonstrated by a below NOAA ocean temperature map.
This one could be category three during the weekend.
