Caribbean remains rather hostile toward development, even more so than when Ernesto, Helene or Isaac moved through. And as for the Gulf, latest models have 50-100 mph winds from TX to FL through early October, signaling that the Gulf is shut down for business. Except for maybe 1-2 more storms in the subtropics north and east of the Caribbean, I think the season is over.
yep the GOM is closed....season over once the westerlies kick in....time to start looking at winter and how much vegetation I am going to loose this year...
