It appears there is some potential of the remains of Gustav and Hanna getting close over the eastern United States. Does anyone have thoughts on the potential of the two systems merging?

The rather significant upper level system (see 500mb charts) propagating across the US right now should shear apart the remnants of Gustav by Thursday and Hanna will not be entering mainland US until the weekend. The closest thing I see to a merger is Gustav's remnant moisture being dumped across the Midwest/northeast and then Hanna's remnants being dumped over the same area. However, just by the fact that the same upper level system will be picking up these two storms this should not happen. I think Hanna's remnants will be farther east... Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, etc whereas Gustav's will be cutting across MO, S. IL, OH, PA, etc. Still should be interesting to watch for any interaction between energy left from Gustav and that of Hanna.
