I agree on that one. I think we may see an early tropical storm.

Even in 05' that didn't happen guys.


Not that i'm saying give up on that i'm just saying it's still highly unlikely. I won't mind seeing an early Alberto myself.

Sea Temperatures

#218 Postby jimvb » Tue Mar 14, 2006 3:54 pm

Does anyone know what the sea temperatures are right now in the Gulf or in the Atlantic, or, MORE IMPORTANT, does anyone know how they compare with last year at this time? Even a map showing sea temperatures on 2006 March 14 (or whatever today is) would be good to have. I think this could tell whether this upcoming hurricane season will be as bad as last year's.
