Re: NHC Discussion

Usually we see the diurnal maxima and the strongest strengthening overnight, yet with Dean and now Felix, it seems that we are seeing most of the strengthening during the daytime.

I'm curious what atmospheric conditions might be causing this?

Since we are on the topic of SSTs, I figured I'd throw out yet another diagram of them:
