Well from the look of things, it seems to be that the last cold front we just experience would be our last. Late this week up in Northern Midwest, the High temps will be in the 50's. So from this point and on everything will be warming up including the Ocean

We are getting close to the time of year when the waters are warm enough to sustain proper tropical cyclone status. Course the shear suggests thats not quite the case yet but the seas are just about ready for it now...

Just ignore that last post. I was looking at the wrong page... I thought I had mentioned that before...

In other news... I would watch to see if the tradewinds return in the tropical Atlantic. they have been very weak for some time and with all that junk near and n of puerto rico.. only going to weaken the bermuda/azores high. the march averages were quite favorable for an active hurricane season.
