Although, these SSTs are a little cooler than in the GOM.

Well the Gulf Stream runs up to 40N...as for SSTs being cooler than in the GOM; well Charley's been over land for a few hours now.

plenty warm

#12 Postby PTPatrick » Fri Aug 13, 2004 11:48 pm

the water is plenty warm...about 82-84 all the way up to the just past the outer banks. BUt I think the speed and sheer will be too much for it strengthen much...maybe a low cat 2 at landfall around Myrtle Beach.

Alex became a mjor Cane over there, did it not? Charley could definately strengthen. :(

The whole point of this thread is that Charley is anything but "too far gone". :)
