quote:Government forecasters minimally reduced their prediction for the Atlantic hurricane season Thursday, but said that up to nine hurricanes and up to 16 tropical storms are expected to form, still a busier-than-average season.
Can anyone tell me the last time they saw the Gulf water temperature at Naples being 93 degrees ? There's still some tremendous potential in this hurricane season. I wouldn't dismiss anything at this point, but you know what they say about opinions...
I'm with you Calvin. Just about the time we all get complacent from no activity...WHAM! Water temperatures are too high to not brew up a biggie sooner or later. The only question is: "Where will it hit?"
water in Pine Island sound is 95 degrees! bad, bad, bad!
That is what the Capt said about the water temps this spring -- already warmer than he'd ever seen them -- and it had him a little concerned.
