Although the Gulf is certainly warm.. it doesn't mean much. Look at April 17 2001:

Even warmer and we couldn't even get a hurricane landfall in the US that year. The upper winds dominate the gulf of mexico.. it is warm there every year! The only reason that I look at Atlantic SSTs is that there is a good signal about seasonal forecasting there...

Here is mid May 2005:

most of the gulf is cool.. and yet the gulf area broke every record. the mixed layers for the gulf are so shallow... the shelf warms up with a week of little wind.. and once the sun gets overhead the gulf is good to go..

Benny, wow, i was surprised to hear that GOM SSTs in 2001 were so high, yet it was a quiet year. Interesting to say the least. Thankyou so much for posting that. :)

Well yeah but the rest of the Atlantic was very cool as well. So that probably played a part in getting the waves to the GOM.

1985 was very active in the Gulf and the rest of the Atlantic was neutral. It seems like upper/lower winds have a lot more to do with GOM formations or moving into the GOM rather than local SST.

Otis Anomalies Graphic

The Atlantic anomalies look like they are slowly warming especially in the MDR,GOM and Caribbean.

I see two ways this season can turn out

ether a El nino shows up or we're going to push 20 named storms again, where they go is yet to be seen but I'd bet my computer on seeing 15 named storms this year (my computer is the most valuable thing I have, without it I cant post here :eek: )

That cold area near South America, does it signify a returning La Nina?

it might, it might not, you cant just look at the surface, it could be 10 degrees warmer/cooler 50 feet below the surface for all we know

speaking of which does anyone have a site showing that?
