Wednesday June 06, 2007 And, continuing from yesterday, just where did Gonu go?
About where it was predicted to go. (kudos to the JTWC!)
It skirted the coast of Oman, turned northward across the Persian Gulf, and is now about 40 nautical miles south of the Iranian coastline. The rapid weakening continued and the sustained winds at the center of the storm are down to 45 knots (quite a change from more than 150 knots just 2 days ago!). When it gets to the Iranian coast in a few hours, it will be just a minimal tropical cyclone -- lots of rain, but not much wind.
