troll? I've been studying weather for the past 20 years my friend...please do not call me a troll. I am simply taking a poll to see what people think about how strong (i.e. how much ridging) the Bermuda High will be this year....
Why do I say stronger? I think we are going to see a pattern reversal over the next few months. This winter and into spring we are seeing strong troughs sweep through the U.S. and down through Florida...we saw this same thing happen last year if you don't remember...even into May and June we saw unusually strong troughs push into central Florida...then we saw a pattern reversal into July-Sept. where the Bermuda high took control....we are seeing the same thing this year except the troughs are stronger...the pattern cannot stay like this all summer....a stronger Bermuda high could mean that the Caribbean and the western Gulf could be vulnerable this year as hurricanes will not make the northerly turn until heading farther west...comments welcome.

Ok nevermind my earlier question, I just remembered what it meant, and my guess is that the bermuda high will either be similiar to last year or a bit weaker. Currently there is no bermuda high, we'll see how long it lasts.
Florida should do much better this year, The gulf states may have more problems, and the east coast could have the most problems. Areas north of Florida especially. The carolinas may be in the bullseye, but even what this year's pattern will suggest. I think a couple of systems may have more in store for us than we think.
