If you haven’t been able to keep an eye on the tropics of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico then here is a good insight of what is happening now and what to expect in the next week or so. I made sure to cover all I can of Gustav and Hanna, plus the two new storms Ike and Josephine.
     If you’re located on the Atlantic coastline then you need to keep an eye on Hanna and Josephine. Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, South Florida, be sure to watch Ike as it heads due west towards us.

Being only the second day of the most active month for the Atlantic tropical season, September, there have been no signs of severe storm development slowing. As Gustav made landfall being only a category 2 and Hanna begins her northerly path up the east coast of Florida, the ninth storm successfully making it past depression status has been named Ike. Sounds like a beast! And what a route the models are predicting.
Even though Hanna is going to be the attention getter this week while it nears landfall somewhere near Georgia …

Hanna has finally begun is due west motions crossing the Bahama’s and heading towards the Florida Keys.
