I was just about to post that, Tee...the storm off the eastern coast of Florida is now TD16, and will be Ophelia if she strengthens that much.

The 4th and 5th pictures down illustrate why we're having more hurricanes (warmer than average surface temps and lower than average wind shear = more hurricanes. But they can't tell us WHY the temps are warmer or WHY the wind shear is lower.

Nevermind that pesky Kyoto treaty.....
