It would seem that Hurricanes on Earth would attract to each other due to pressure. Has this ever been observed?
New Hubble, Keck images show turbulent Jupiter

BERKELEY – Increased turbulence and storms first observed on Jupiter more than two years ago are still raging, according to astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, who snapped high-resolution pictures of the planet earlier this month.
Captured with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the 10-meter Keck II telescope, this so-called “major upheaval” on Jupiter involves stunning changes in the planet’s atmosphere, said lead astronomer Imke de Pater, professor of astronomy at UC Berkeley.
The images are available on NASA’s HubbleSite NewsCenter.

The upheaval was heralded in December 2005 by a color change from white to red of a large oval near the Great Red Spot, earning it the moniker Red Spot Jr. This oval, formally known as Oval BA, formed six years earlier through a merger of three large white ovals just south of the Great Red Spot - storms that formed in the early 1930s and were prominent in the Voyager era.
Global warming has reach for sure. Will the lefties blame this one of Bush as well? The Great OZ has spoken.
Bush failed to press for ratification of the Kyoto Accords.
See what happens?
