Ask Mike this:

He mentioned the waters off the East Coast of the US are warmer than normal but based on the NHC graphics they are actually cooler off the EC...(SSTs are below avg off the EC) in general the SSTs are running cooler over most of the Atlantic this year between 20N and 30N. Am I missing something?

so how does the fact that the SSTs are cooler of the EC support frontal Tropical activity such as Beryl....

thanks Mike so basically based on what you said - the depth of the 26 degree isotherm is important here...the NHC graphics are just giving the surface temps :D
