Hurricane Hunters and Gustav

The Hurricane Hunters just found a surface pressure of 983 mb and winds of 64 knots, one knot short of hurricane strength. The NHC could go with a 70 mph storm or 75 mph hurricane at the next advisory, depending on what they think is best. I think they will likely go with Hurricane Gustav so the wording sounds more ominous considering the storm will definitely be a hurricane by the time it reaches the Caymans. The Caymans better be ready for a strong Cat 1 at least by the time this storm reaches the islands. The storm has dropped 5 mb in the last 6 hours.

Another update will come later.
