Weak high pressure continues to rebuild over Texas from the Western U.S.  Below-normal rain chances are expected through the next three day.  Subsidence (sinking air ahead of Gustav) will limit rain chances and push afternoon highs to the middle-to-upper nineties by the Labor Day Weekend. 

At 10:00 PM Thursday, August 28, 2008, Tropical Storm Gustav was located near Latitude 17.8 N...Longitude 77.3 W.  The storm is moving West-Southwest at 7 mph.  Maximum sustained winds have increased to 70 mph with higher gusts.  Minimum pressure has dropped to 29.18 inches.  It is likely that Gustav will become a major hurricane as it enters the Gulf of Mexico early Sunday Morning.  The storm could make landfall late Monday Night to early Tuesday Morning.  MORE
