Official Gustav Storm Alert Prediction Thread
« on: August 30, 2008, 09:45:51 AM »
Now that Gustav is a major hurricane, post in this thread when TWC will enter full Storm Alert mode.  Winner gets a nickle.

I'll say 12PM Sunday, after the eye crosses Cuba.

I say 12PM tomorrow too. Seems reasonable. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it happened sooner.

I'd say whenever it reaches into the Gulf of Mexico, which will likely be early tomorrow.

I'm interested how TWC will handle Storm Alert this time around.

I'm already in Storm Alert...I've been blasting all three Storm Alert LF themes all day. :P

I think TWC is going to kick it into full Storm Alert on Sunday at 11 AM ET, when Weekend Now starts.

Also, when does everyone think the inset satellite/radar/track will appear? I think we're going to be seeing that very soon, maybe as early as 1 PM ET today.

I agree about the inset sat/rad/track. I'd be very surprised if its not up by 1PM.

I doubt it might become a category 4 or 5 by the time it reaches New Orleans.

It is likely to become a Category 4 actually. It's got plenty of time over the warm gulf waters to do so. :yes:

Yeah it's too early to predict where on the Gulf Coast it will make landfall. It could be in southern Texas or the Florida panhandle.
