Gustav, Hanna, Ike & Josephine, still...
Gustav - Gustav is still around as a depression, and has moved on this path and is now located in Johnson County, Arkansas, near Fort Douglas adn the Pope County line. 19" of rain has fallen over Larto Lake in southern Catahoula Parish in northeast Louisiana.
Hanna is up to 65 mph winds with a pressure of 989 mb. A Hurricane Watch has been posted for Carteret, Onslow, Pender, New Hanover & Brunswick Counties in North Carolina, including Cape Lookout, Cape Fear and Wilmington. In South Carolina it includes Horry, Georgetown and Charleston Counties, including Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Pawley's Island. A Tropical Storm Watch has been posted for Colleton, Beaufort and Jasper Counties in South Carolina and Chatham, Bryan, Liberty & McIntosh Counties in Georgia. This includes Savannah and Hilton Head.
The 3-day track has it hitting anywhere from Hilton Head to Portland, Maine. However, the most likely option is a NC/SC border hit as a minimal Hurricane in the early morning hours of Saturday. By Sunday morning, it will probably be on Long Island, New York.
As for Ike, it is a Category 4 storm, with 938 mb. In 5 days, it could be anwhere from Tampa south, down to the Keys, and up to Flagler Beach north of Cape Canaveral, but the mostly likely scenario has it reeking havoc in the Bahamas as a Category 4. Some talk that it may be another Andrew, but I think it will now turn north (and not head into the Gulf) and hit the Carolinas, although one model has it hitting New York as a major hurricane...yikes!
Josephine has 50 mph winds and 1000 mb of pressure. It's still in the middle of the Atlantic.
7 PM UPDATE:
Gustav: It is in Godfrey, Jersey County, Illinois, near Alton and the Missouri border. It moved this way, just past Saint Louis. It is to the point now where the storm is considered dissipated, but it is still bringing heavy rain to Chicago.
Hanna: Hanna is at 65 mph and 988 mb. It should make landfall as a strong tropical storm (or very weak Hurricane) early Saturday morning near Wilmington, North Carolina. However, it will affect the entire east coast, and it could make landfall anywhere between Charleston & Cape Hatteras. The storm will move up through the Hampton Roads area on Saturday afternoon, and by Sunday at lunchtime, should be near the Maine/Nova Scotia Border. The weather channel is in Wrightsville Beach near Wilmington and up at Cape Hatteras. Many schools are cancelled tomorrow, and many football games are being played tonight.

Ike: He's still a Cat 4 with 945 mb pressure. It could make landfall as a strong 3 or a "weak" 4, and unfortunately the most likely track is downtown Miami on Tuesday afternoon. However, the track includes the Gulf Coast from Cedar Key down to the Keys, and from Miami up to Flagler Beach. Here is a timeline for folks in south Florida to follow.
Josephine: She's still out to sea.
Finally, there is a potential Kyle out there, however he's not in any hurry to form up yet.
