I don't see how it could get much below 920, 915. It passed over the warmest water today and is running out of ocean real estate before cooler water.

Here's an interesting tidbit... Gilbert reached 888mb at 19.7N 83.8W -- just south of the Isle of Youth.

I don't know if there's any way to find out what the conditions surrounding Gilbert were at that time, and how they might differ from the conditions around Emily -- although most likely he wasn't headed into cooler waters...

Margie, out of curiosity, where do you see cooler water ahead? I can't find the link to sea surface temps that I used to use -- do you have a good one?

Thanks!
