Tropical Storm Gustav was the only tropical cyclone to be sheared to dissipation during the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season. The seventh tropical cyclone and seventh named storm of the season, Gustav developed on August 26 from an area of disturbed weather just south of Cape Verde. Nearby Tropical Storm Fran immediately halted any rapid intensification, and the new tropical depression did not strengthen into Tropical Storm Gustav until early on August 28, two days after development. Although Fran moved away, wind shear increased again as a result of a cut-off low, and eventually weakened Gustav to a tropical depression late on September 1. Tropical Depression Gustav was eventually sheared to dissipation on September 2.

Tropical Depression Gustav was eventually sheared to dissipation on September 2.
- Tropical Storm Gustav was the seventh named storm of the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season. The least notable storm of the season, Gustav only managed to reach a peak of 45 mph winds as a minimal tropical storm out in the open Atlantic Ocean, never threatening land. Gustav dissipated because of Hurricane Fran's outflow, then due to wind shear from a cut-off low. Gustav is one of three tropical cyclones that were closely spaced together in the 1996 Atlantic hurricane season, along with hurricanes Edouard and Fran.
