Reports indicate that a Hurricane Warning is now in effect for Jamaica as Tropical Storm Gustav strengthens just east of the island. The hurricane his predicted to move gradually eastwards towards the Cayman Islands.
Gustav is expected to move towards the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. With the storm moving westward and after coming into contact with the warm waters of the Caribbean, it is expected that Gustav might gather enough strength to convert into a category 1 hurricane and could be cause a major threat to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The warm waters can strengthen the hurricane as it approaches the U.S. coast.
