I don't think it'll actually make it back to the Gulf....if it did it would be weakened. Really hard to project that, other than to see it's a remote possibility. Benny will disagree with me on that....I think it may landfall then stall 100-200 miles in and dump a boatload of rain on Shreveport (where a bunch of evacuees headed)..... It's a valid concern though, and even the NHS was conflicted about the post landfall action on their last discussion (at 1700): AFTER 48-72 HR...THERE REMAINS MAJOR DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE DYNAMICAL MODELS ON WHETHER GUSTAV WILL RECURVE INTO THE WESTERLIES...SHEAR APART AND STALL OVER LOUISIANA OR TEXAS...OR TURN SOUTHWESTWARD. THE FORECAST TRACK AFTER 72 HR FOLLOWS THE SHEAR-APART-AND-STALL SCENARIO...CALLING FOR GUSTAV TO MOVE SLOWLY WESTWARD AS IT WEAKENS OVER LAND.
