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

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.

I wonder if young Levi would consider the use of his images in these threads as "moderate?"

I think we steer more people to his site though, and he's a beast.

I understand what you're saying completely... and I'm not against shorthand at all

just sometimes... you gotta do what we in the media call "re-establishing shots"... remind us what it is and why it's important... then go back to the shorthand for a while
