Rare polar trough for this time will dip into the caribbean

It is not common to see a cold front go deep into the caribbean as this one will do in the next 36-48 hours.
Yes cold fronts haved come down in past years by late march but now going into april those are more rare.

Here in Puerto Rico expect plenty of rain by late wendsday lasting into friday so let's see how much rain comes here.

This front will cool the waters in the caribbean sea and in the Bahamas but not by much so they will rebound rapidly as the hurricane season comes closer.

Fear not...lower and mid 80's will be back by the end of the week!
As for SSTA's, well, I wouldn't be worrying about what is off of Florida right now. The very warm SSTA's off of the EC (ATC) are signs that the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season will be highly resurgent and possibly comparable to the late 90's hurricane seasons.
Not trying to hype it up or bring bad news, but what I stated above is looking increasingly likely.

Polar Troughs
They do occur in March though. In fact there could be one more by the weekend. However, the cold will be short-lived. These last good blasts of winter usually signal the exit of the northern jet to the north, then Arctic circle. Bringing a reversal of the pattern, things should warm quite rapidly after tax day, setting us up for warm SSTs by mid-june. Notice very warm anomalies in the eastern GOM, Bahamas and caribbean. This may bode well for an active hurricane sseason, if other factors come into play (i.e., Azores high further north by July, weak/neutral El Nino, light upper level winds, etc.). Let's put it this way, this polar trough may be signalling a pattern change that may be very timely for favorable conditions to fall into place by June and throughout a good portion of the summer. The winter pattern in the east held quite a long time. Maybe a favorable summer pattern will lock in. 8)

Rainband for hurricane season doesn't mean nothing but the only thing is the rare front at april dipping way down into the deep tropics but other than that no important factor going into the season.

I would not count on this beeing the last front to make its way into the gulf! Especialy if the models have thier way. Looks as if thier may be a few more in the next week or two that could make thier way into the gulf.
I for one do think we will have a favorable pattern this summer and it will get started in early June and i cant wait!

Yes because sometimes from the tail end of fronts developments can occur.
