Re: Nicole reclassified to Tropical Storm

Another record was (at least the last 40 or 50 years) was the 3 successive Gulf seasons with 5 or more named storms - Charley, Frances, Ivan, Ivan II, Gaston, Matthew. I think Joe B. has hit it with the water temperature profiles vs. close in landfalling seasons. Clearly warmer water off the Mid Atlantic Coast and cooler water off the SA coast makes a world of difference.
