Low sea surface temps? Where do you see low sea surface temps in the Gulf? I agree about all the dry air associated with the trough in the gulf but Im pretty sure the water temps are at least 81+ over the entire Central and Southern Gulf. In my book, thats plenty warm for a developing tropical system.

I believe he is speaking of lower than normal temps in the GOM, which is true.Droop12 wrote:Low sea surface temps? Where do you see low sea surface temps in the Gulf?
