MAX WINDS: 150 mph... 6 away from being a category 5
Pressure: 942 mb
The Hurricane Center feels that Gustav could become a category 5 hurricane tonight with a landfall in the US as a category 4 hurricane. I will have more later tonight and tomorrow as I will not be able to post this evening. One thing I will say is hopefully Gustav will be peaking early and start to level off and come back down to a lower major hurricane status before landfall. Storm surge will be a big issue for Louisiana and if it makes landfall west of New Orleans, they may have to contend with 20-30ft storm surge...
