The SST anomalies in the SPAC just off the NE coast of Australia are below normal? Is that normal during a La Nina? I thought those should be warm close to the coast during a Nina and further east during a Nino

I'm not sure what the subsurface looks like, but my guess is that the cool SSTAs there are because of a series of extratropical storms that moved through that area in November. It's been warming up quite a bit over the last two weeks. I don't think it will be a significant factor in the Aussie season.

What is LC saying about the Aussie season? Should we expect him to bust by less than seven storms this time?

LC made the greatest call in the history of tropical forecasting calling for no cane landfalls in the US. lets get back to the question. is december similar to our june?

Hey, guys! Sorry I've been so absent from this thread. These kinds of business trips kind of suck me in. I haven't even entered Alby's contest yet, as I haven't had time to do the necessary research. :( You guys-- kush, Adam, Ed, etc.-- should enter it, too! (He indicated the deadline was 08 Dec, but I'm wondering if he might give us a small grace period.)

I'll be returning to Prague on Friday, at which time I will return to my regular wx-nerd state. :D
