what's avg water temperature in GOM right now?
Here is some information on the water temps for the Galveston area -
From my understanding - the colder the water - the less likely that a hurricane will build up.
Also - a cold front/ridge would not hurt! It would turn away the hurricane!
**So - all of you prayer warriors, pray that it turns cold in the water and on the land at Galveston/Houston. That is where the largest refineries are in the nation!
The nation will really be in a bind for fuel if that hurricane hits Galveston/Houston!
