GOM = One B-O-R-I-N-G body of water!!

[Jim Cantore]

I'm bumping this for the sole reason, if this doesnt show people not to write off seasons, nothing will

[Recurve]

After 1992, I'll never write off a season until we get our first 50-degree cold front.

The GOM is poised temperature-wise to provide a yet-to-be-named storm the fuel to make front-page headlines. One area that could really produce something serious is the central Caribbean, primarily because of the position of the Bermuda High. Granted conditions right now aren't great, shear wise, but in the coming days anything that looks suspicious here would garner my attention. While troughs in the mid and western Atlantic may produce fish storms out of anything that far east, something developing in the Caribbean could meander slow into the southern Gulf. A slow, erratic moving storm finding favorable conditions aloft could quickly deepen. There is also much humidity in the Gulf region that would enhance potential for strengthening. I'm certainly not predicting anything, but simply pointing out that the Caribbean Sea, middle to western, is a good place to watch for something significant to develop in the next week or two.

This prediction came true

IT MADE FRONT PAGE HEADLINES FOR SURE....as the worst hurricane disaster JUST HORRIFIC

she is still making front page headlines even at this late date

[HurricaneJoe22]

In South Florida, we had a 50-degree cold front the same day Wilma hit! Talk about 2 extremes.

[boca]

I remember that no power and the low was 51°F that nite right after Wilma.

[tgenius]

I think that cold front saved us during Wilma.. it would of been brutally hot (ala Andrew) otherwise
