Cooler Water

#1 Postby slowjoe » Fri Jun 10, 2005 9:52 am

Does anyone have any thoughts on cooler water impacting this system. It looks like it is moving into an area of the gulf with 26 degree SST compared to the 29.5 degree it has been in since formation.

There's enough heat there to sustain a cat 1 at the rate TS Arlene is moving.

Thanks for replying...this is my first time really getting into these storms. There are a ton of variables to think about when interpreting these things and I'm trying to get up to speed. :D
