During the past week we've had two systems in all right should have developed into at least minimal hurricanes, especially Edouard....

All season long the tropics have had these well defined, quite strong upper level lows... they have be abundant all season, and in all areas... and has been the quite the factor on dampening the season to date...

Weather pundits talk about the effect of El Nino... is this creating all the strong ULLs? Is there a direct corrolation?

Everytime you check out a WV Loop there is always multiple ULLs dancing all over the screen... seems very unusual to me... weather along the MS coast this am is pretty dreary... stong southerly winds and thunderstorms.. very tropical to say the least..

Wonder when we'll get that first real storm... season to date has been practically non-existant...
