Hell, half the time when I read rds dc's hurricane posts I feel like I'm reading a foreign language. I still don't know what "CAG" means but is seems to be important.

I believe "CAG" stands for "Central American Gyre"... which I think is a fancy way of saying monsoon rains over Honduras & Nicaragua

Could be wrong though

ETA: it's that gyre that's helping slow Nate's intensification currently I do believe

Thanks. I even googled "CAG hurricane" and got nothing.

Correct. I tried to avoid using that in this thread and for most of the thread I just referred to a broad area of lower pressure. The NHC started using gyre in the discussions and some other posters have posted it here and there. So I figured I could save some key strokes and use the preferred CAG.
