It's 93 degrees at the airport with a dewpoint at 65. While the humidity isn't all that impressive, it's just enough to make it feel pretty sticky out there. With the little amount of rain we've had for nearly the last month, the heat will only feed off of the dry ground. Hopefully we can curtail the temperature this weekend by adding in a small chance of rain on Friday. That's about all we can hope for right now!
Clearing out some unfinished business from Gustav... It was pretty evident that Gustav would not come ashore as no more than a Category 2 or 3 the night before, but a few media outlets seemed to keep the Cat 4 or 5 possibility in the limelight. The storm was simply too close to land and cooler water for any further development by about 4pm the day before. As always, I recommend going straight to the source, the National Hurricane Center. While they're not always 100% correct, I can assure you that they are more unbiased and less sensationalist than other sources. John Belski seemed to pick up on this as well... click here.
As for Hanna and Ike, here's their projected paths:
Tropical Storm Josephine has formed as well, but it's too far off to really tell where it will go. I'll post maps on that one at a later point in time.
