Another words he thinks fishing will be good this year since his fishing was interrupted by several Ladies last year.


This old man Mac came in the other day says they are catching reds off the beach here in Biloxi already.I would not doubt it with all the debris no shrimping going on and new little homes for the little fish close to the beach.

stats are stats,if the noaa website posted it,it must be correct.The gom is warmer now than last year,and i doubt this last cold front will bring temps down.Its too late in the season,and SSTs in the GOMEX will only go higher. :eek:

I bet waters east of Florida and in the Bahamas will be near 90 degrees by summer.

Well actually I looked further into it and I think there are some areas in the gulf that may be 5-8` above normal, but I see nothing above that

Can you post a link to where NOAA posted this 12 degrees above normal statement? I can't see anything on the SSTA chart. In fact, the SSTs look significantly cooler than last year across the Tropical Atantic, and maybe 1-2C warmer across the Gulf of Mexico. Here's a comparison of March 23, 2005 and 2006:

What really bothers me is that red and yellow around Southern Greenland; which is where the cold current comes from in the North Atlantic. Also knowning that there is very little pack ice in said areas this year; and that it is melting ice that cools the Atlantic. I personally am VERY CONCERNED in regards to what this map will look like by June, or worse yet September :eek: :eek: :eek:

So am I: If Greenland continues to melt, the ocean would rise and flood the states along the coast though that i dont think we have to worry about that this year,but what we do have to worry about now is since greenland is warming there is no doubt that the ocean current will bring the warm waters into the Atlantic Spawning Catastophic Hurricanes.

I'm going to look for more websites to find out how much trouble we are in

This is a website that tells the direction of the current and colors of the Ocean temp.

This Website tells the Ocean temp.

I just look at this website yesterday and the 80's temp. in the Carribean was not there

As far as I can tell, the Caribbean temperatures were warmer in January than they are now. Nothing unusual there at all. Does anyone have a URL where NOAA specifically mentions a +12F anomaly in the Atlantic Basin?

Any ideas on why Atlantic SST anomalies are much cooler than last year/earlier this year in many spotty areas?

Crazy Talk... The Arctic looks like it could be the place for that anomaly. Although the graphics don't reflect it.. SSTs tend to change radically these days with the longer stronger sun angle and yet cold air masses still making there way into the tropics..

Yes, I believe that the tropical Atlantic is cooler this year because the easterly trade winds are a bit higher (stronger Bermuda high). That means increased shear over 2005, perhaps countering any enhancing effect of La Nina.

Accuweather is all junk science. I wouldn't pay any attention to it.
