Hank, your not kidding either....., except I don't take the GFDL lightly, so much as I certainly do the Canadian model. But, I agree with you that "something" really does want to come out of this soup. 18Z GFS, which I thought remarkedly picked up on all this mess early on, does indeed show yet something else moving north from Yucatan in the 180 hr. time frame. So, just to be silly......., what are the odds of this mess sticking around for say, 2 weeks longer? Maybe out of all this, we might see the "grandson of Alma" - and this same gyre will be spinning off Cristobal. We'd really have something odd to talk about!

Hey folks.....enjoy the science; how often in the first week of June, can you really claim to already be getting "Storm Punch Drunk".
