Dr.Gray is going to have to redo his forecast numbers because these are really hot water temps I mean Lake Okeechobee probably could support a Cat-3 right now!

Lake Okeechobee is always warm. It can approach 90 during the summer.

That's a stunning map. The aggregate average anomaly for the entire atlantic(gulf & carib included) must be on the order of 2.5°F by this point, and around 5-6°F where it really counts for the Gulf Coast.

Let's just hope that plume of cold water off Ecuador heads through the Panama Canal. :wink:

Unfortunately the SST is only going to get warmer, though it is not ocean temp, on land in central Florida are high will be in mid 90's on Wednesday.

(off topic)first day of summer begins June 21st, and school gets out on May 24th, that's how close we are to Summer

Yeah things are really getting fired up now, I think the entire Atlantic looks pretty similar to this time last year now.

As far as pressure wise it can support a CAT3 in parts of the Gulf

Look at the temps in the Carribean! Some areas are already near 32C or 90F.

The central and eastern Atlatnic is cooler this year...With a slightly cooler Caribbean. On the other hand the Gulf of Mexico is on fire...

Last year Azores high was so strong that it sheared systems+sucked SAL into the Atlantic. Which killed the Eastern Atlatnic season. This year could have a weaker Azores high but a strong Bermuda high. Which will likely have a 2004 like pattern with storms forming strongly out over the eastern then recurving. But if they get under the Bermuda watch out florida.

The Gulf is going to be a blood bath.

Yeah, I had a good feeling we were gonna see a signficiant BOC Season this year and it's looking pretty ugly down there.

Although the water is still not really as warm as last year I expect an exceptional change coming, that will likely make both years very comparable.

Guess we'll have to find out, however
