Hurricane Gustav continues to make its way across the Gulf of Mexico tonight.  The storm is showing signs of strengthening as it draws closer to the Louisiana coast.  Landfall will most likely occur on Monday morning just west of New Orleans.  Gustav could become a Category 4 hurricane prior to landfall.  Either way, there will be widespread damage to the coastal areas due to the flooding rains and winds in excess of 100 mph.  Our prayers are with all the folks along the Gulf Coast tonight.

Tropical Storm Hanna remains fairly disorganized tonight.  The National Hurricane Center is forecasting Hanna to become better organized and possibly strengthen into a hurricane by Wednesday.  Hanna is expected to slowly move northwestward through the week and possibly threaten the Southeast coast of the U.S.  by the weekend.  Right now more questions than answers with Hanna, but bears watching throughout the week.

We’ll see a mix of clouds and sun for Labor Day with highs in the mid to upper 80s.  Can’t rule out a few showers either, but most of the day will be dry.  Have a great holiday !!
