Re: some general questions

To answer your questions...

1) A tad cooler than normal in the Gulf, above normal in the Caribbean -- http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tafb/atl_anom.gif

2) Yeah, if these current conditions hold, the waters in the Gulf should warm up pretty quickly. The waters of the northern Gulf are pretty shallow and tend to warm up (and cool down) pretty fast. I'm getting a tad concerned with the warm waters in the Caribbean; we'll have to see what happens.
