The latest computer models Louisiana, here comes Gustav. The latest 12Z (8 am EDT) model runs have united around a strike in central Louisiana on Monday afternoon or evening. We should not be surprised if the center comes ashore as far east as Mississippi, or as far west as Galveston, though, given the current boundaries of the cone of uncertainty. A landfall on the western side of the cone of uncertainty, in Texas, is more likely than one on the eastern side, in Mississippi. Once Gustav makes landfall, it will slow down, and pose a significant rainfall/flooding threat to Louisiana and Texas. Portions of this region are under moderate to severe drought, so the flooding could've been worse. Several of the models are forecasting that Gustav will drift southwestward back over the Gulf of Mexico after landfall, and this is a distinct possibility. The motion of Gustav in the longer term may be influenced by Hanna, which I will talk about in the Hanna section. ---Masters blog
