But actually we're getting a blob of dry air compliments of Gaston. Very little rain around Central FL today - not typical..........no seabreeze fronts.

I just did a quick check on a representative sampling of buoy stations from Dauphin Island, AL to the Atchafalaya Bay area of LA, and found the average water temperature this evening is a bath-like 88.7 degrees.

Incidentally, the Grand Isle, LA station topped the other 7 with a 92.1 reading...OW-CHEE-WA-WA! :eek:
