And then there was Wilma

[Red Harvest]

Is the Gulf still bathwater, or has it chilled a notch?

Don't know, I can't find the sea surface temperature maps in the drop downs today...seem to have gone missing. Last I saw, it was still bathwater, but it has been 3 days or so. There has been a big high sitting in the Gulf blocking things. As long as it stays put the risk will be to Florida.

That's a bit better since the atlantic side water temps are going to be less. If there's a high in the Gulf, it probably is helping keep things warmed, so if it slips away that could prove...disconcerting.
