This is a dumb question, when and what time will Gustav hit the US coast?

Right now they're saying late Monday/early Tuesday.

We don't know an exact time yet. The NHC's cone has it making a landfall at approximately 2 PM Monday.

They will be in their current mode until tomorrow. I think they will go into Alert Mode during Weekend View at 7ET.

You know, I was just looking at the NHC's forecast cones, and it seems that TWC's cones for both Gustav and Hanna are really different from what the NHC is forecasting. I wonder why they're seeing things so differently...

I don't think they are.  What makes you say that :unsure:  There are now watches for the US coast, I think that's a sign that it's time to focus more and more on Gustav, especially where the current track is forecasted. :yes:

They overhyped the last few storms but this one deserves it.

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was yellow earlier today.

EDIT:  Holy crap, that was some opener they just played.

A special Gustav opener just replaced the PME opener for this hour; they're now in the phase that happens *just before* Storm Alert.
