The Gulf Coast has been Baking recently. Kinda figured the SST temps would start to rebound.

Over 3/4 of the Gulf is now in th upper 70's. The Gulf Stream is really extending. Looks like Hurricane Seasons almost.

Interesting it actually has more blue than I expected. It's early yet..

Much of the Western Caribbean can now support
a significant category 5 hurricane with pressures
below 880 mb:
Given the loss of shear...by August and September
things are going to EXPLODE over the Caribbean
It doesn't look good in the Caribbean Folks.
Also the Central Atlantic can support Category 5:

Temperatures are going up in the ocean, you need at least 80 F for a tropical storm or hurricane to form, of course there several other variables to look at as well

The heat content in the Western Caribbean is very high and that has been the case in the past few weeks.

Its warming up right on time.SSTs in the region should be well into the 80s in July

Once the shear diminishes...
scary!!!

Above is the latest data of the Atlantic anomalies.The Central Atlantic north of 20n,with the Western Caribbean are the warmest areas at this time.

I don't like what I am seeing with that warm patch showing up off the TX/LA coast. Let's hope that doesn't continue to grow any!

maybe a warm eddy broke off the LC?.......

like EWG said hope thats not a common thing this summer where warm eddy's start to like the upper texas coast this year! :eek:

That's not an eddy. In fact the WGOM is a bit cooler than last year, especially off the upper Texas coast.

Just wanted to post some quick thoughts....

Iam not 100 sure we are going to see a nina at all this season and infact iam leaning towards a more neutral state across the basin during the meat of the season.

On this anomaly image it appears to me that some of the blues near the equater in the pacific are slowly fadeing away which is one of a few reasons iam not buying into a full blown nina this hurricane season.

Also its still early in the season but a quick observation on SST'S across the parts of the atlantic and there just about average across the basin.

One last thing the heat potential across the basin is alot less compared to 05 and even 06 at this time.

June 3 2006

And of course a view of the incredible heat potential across the basin in 05.

I agree, i've not been too convinced of La nina for a little while, subsurface profiles still showing the western side of the Pacific stubbornly neutral-slightly above average and we are going to have to reduce that before a full blown La nina.

By the way how does the heat potential compare to seasons such as 2003-2004??

Here the heat potential during the 07 season on this date...

Caribbean is baking

Yes indeed...

But look how cool the waters of the florida coast have gotten also notice its quite cool of the african coast.That will slowly change as we get into the meat of the season but yea the caribbean is a hot spot for this time of the year which the nogaps this moring is suggesting some development down there.

It's 82 degrees as of yesterday here at St. Pete Beach and in the mid-upper 70's out farther in the Gulf.

Anyone have any pic of the current conditions in the Caribbean? Any thoughts of somethings happening there this week?
