Re: Hurricane Season Begins June 1st, 2007

Hello Folks,

It looks like there are componants in place this spring that could lead us to and active Hurricane season.
I was looking at some bouy data:
Just 20 NM offshore the Ocean temp is 77.5 degrees
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41009

At 120 NM offshore the Ocean temp is 74.8 degrees.
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41010

In the Central Carib. the water is 81.1 degrees.
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=42058

Is this "Normal" for this time of year?
Or are the waters off Florida warmer than usual for this time of year?

With the outlook of less shear winds, and warmer water. We really could have a busy season.
Any thoughts?
