(August, 28 2008) – Tropical Storm Gustav is on its way toward Jamaica this morning.

A day after stalling off Haiti's coast, the storm is moving on a west-southwest track and is expected to pass very close to Jamaica.

Forecasters expect it to start slowly regaining strength, and it could become a hurricane again by tomorrow, and a major hurricane later this weekend. The latest update has maximum sustained winds near 45 miles-per-hour.

So far Gustav is blamed for 23 deaths on the island of Hispaniola.

Meanwhile residents in New Orleans are nervously watching, since forecasters have Gustav eventually making its way into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. They say it could make landfall anywhere between Texas and the Florida panhandle this weekend.
