Is the Sahara dust ever going away,will cold fronts give us some low pressure systems and will storms kick off down in the Costa Rica,Panama area effect us? Pretty lean on the storm season so far.

Perhaps Jeff Sessions has been handed the controls to the Hurricane Machine. All I know for sure is that the water temperature in the deep tropics between Africa and the Lesser Antilles has been cooler (**say it ain't so, Global Warming Fanatics**) than average. El Nino is a 60% possibility later this year. El Nino bodes for a subdued Atlantic hurricane season and wet FL winter.

Season peak is another couple of weeks away (Sept. 10). As always, we prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

We sure have been lucky so far.

In reference to the cooler Atlantic, notice Hurricane Lane in a warmer pacific. Would global warming cool one while warming the other ? Hell no. The planet's temperature is generated from below as well as above. The Ring of Fire is clearly the cause of pacific warming which affects lots of other weather generating phenomena.

And by the way....I suspect that oven down below is the source of oil rather than dead dinosaurs.
