Hello Hanna! We’re getting close to the end of August as the eighth named storm of the season gathers strength. Even though it is far from anywhere right now, it is still a storm to watch. Since almost EVERY meterologist got Fay wrong a few weeks ago, we have to start watching these a little closer. The National Hurricane Center gives Hanna a 42% chance of becoming a Hurricane within the next 48 hours which actually increases to a 62% chance in 72 hours. Although the storm is still way out in the middle of nowhere heading NW, most computer models according to wunderground (see below), predict that it’ll be taking a sharp turn sometime Sunday. This will be caused by a high pressure system moving off the east coast.

I will update when things change. Until then, keep an eye on Gustav!
