Dave,
I'm usually inclined to think the same about the warm surface water moving west but the surface water off west of catawba was 74 degrees on memorial day. Last saturday it was 67. I know the sun may have some effect but, I don't think the surface temps in CLE are even 67 last weekend so that was based on a recent observation of mine.

Hope you are doing well by the way. Let me know if you want to join me again.
Rickerd
