How would the cold front contribute to a GOM storm if that were to happen?




I believe it's because the front has become sort of "hung up" and stalled over NC. In doing so, areas of low pressure move along the front, and one of those could dip down into the GOM and spawn a "homegrown" system.

Regarding the shark bites vs. tropical activity. The summer of '01 was dubbed the "Summer of the Shark" in Volusia County. There was a record number of shark bites recorded. However, only one tropical system impacted the central east Florida coast. It was Hurricane Gabrielle, and it actually formed in the GOM and came across the peninsula.
