I was so out of touch when Rita formed. I really need to read up on everything before landfall. I found a site not too long ago that gave you all the info on past hurricanes, including archived animated landfall maps. Anyone know what I am talking about?

I like to see a quiet GOM. Peaceful and beautiful sunsets along Mobile Bay.

I'm glad this year is done with pretty much, because the job I just started doesn't allow outside internet access, soooo since the activity is dying down, I won't have the obsession to get online anymore, at least until next July

....

Well, last half of September and we are heading into October.....I don't see the conditions being conducive for development, so I think the season will probably end early like it has many times in the past...
Unless we get a late storm in October(in spite of the El Nino), see everyone next year........

With a lack of activity in the GOM, there sure is a lot of heat that needs to be transported. Perhaps we'll have some decent winter lows and have a wet winter.

Toward the end of the Lane GFDL 06z run, a closed low pops up in the Bay of Campeche/southwestern Gulf:

This may be the area to watch.

Let's not jinx it and even think about getting a storm form down there, thanks.

Some of us are actually ENJOYING our so-called "quiet season."

Seems to be a little convergence just off the coast of Nicaragua (evident on visible imagery and on this map):
