much warmer than.




Eh?

2007 looks to be a good 1 - 2 degrees warmer overall.
In particular, look at the Southern, Central, Northern and Western Gulf. About the only place that seems to be cooler is the eastern region near Tampa and the big bend area.

I'm not too worried about the water temps quite yet, Let's see what they're looking like at the end of May. If they're still running above average... then there might be a small problem.

(is this line of conversation better served in another forum? if so, obviously feel free to move it)
