HoopInsider_Cooper Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 (7:05PM Sunday) FROM THE KFDM WEATHER CENTER, New Data Indicates Gustav Expected to Make Landfall Well East of Golden Triangle. KFDM Chief Meteorlogist Greg Bostwick says based on the most recent data, Hurricane Gustav is back on track after a brief wobble to the west earlier Sunday. The center of Gustav is now located near 26.9 north and 87.7 west. Highest winds are 115 miles per hour. The motion is to the northwest at about 17 miles per hour. "I am very confident now of a landfall well to our east, in an area just southwest of Houma, Louisiana, between about 9 a.m. and noon Monday, with winds of 120-125 miles per hour," said Greg. "With landfall expected to be well to our east, winds locally likely won't exceed 40 miles per hour Monday night into Tuesday morning. That will be mainly near Sabine Lake and along the Sabine River. Rainfall totals shouldn't be very heavy, with amounts likely to remain less than two inches between Monday and Tuesday." We'll continue monitoring Gustav for any changes that might occur before landfall. Stay with KFDM News and Weather for the latest on Hurricane Gustav.
Gabe Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 I just love working for a newspaper during a hurricane.
SETXsports Broadcaster Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Yeah that wobble made the eye of the hurricane take aim for my little town of Leesville. But I am thinking that it will only be a tropical storm by then
KFDM COOP Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Yea by then expect gusty winds and heavy rains there.
