Re: Just Gert Going in Mid August

Good Morning
Dry air off the continent in that section of the SE Carribean is why it is designated the "gravyard" for budding tropical systems. the circulation is in tact and there is a surprising amount of convection filtering in from the north and east, so some regeneration may be possible from today out. I agree with the unusual run of weather over the eastern GOM this year. The pattern has held since June. I am also impressed with the relative weakness of all systems which have formed this year and find it unusual that we are at 7 storms and no hurricanes.
