By the way, look at the far northern Gulf of Mexico... anomalies there are nearly five degrees above average!

Where does it say 40 degrees above average in the Atlantic on the anomaly map? What are you looking at?

:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

Are you counting the total?

The extent of the warm anomalies in the Gulf is just insane. While the winds need to be favourable for anything much to feed off of them, it's very scary to know that the potential fuel is out there.

Why do they forecast a resurgence of La Nina from now through June?

Very true... also, if La Nina resurges temporarily, could this add to the heat content in the Gulf or contribute to it in some way?

The gulf is usually toasty anyway. This doesn't hurt.

Not this toasty. Last year the GOM was above normal and look what happened with Katrina and Rita entered it. This year is even warmer than last at this time.

the northern gulf says 3+ degs F above norm, so 3-9/5+32= 37.5, but some of that water looks warmer so i said 40 degs F

Ooops. I think you misunderstood. What I mean is the gulf is, even on average, a fairly warm body of water compared with say, the open Atlantic. These anomolies are just compounding the problem.
