Dan,
It really depends on the ocean currents,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Corrientes-oceanicas.gif , and
prevailing winds, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation
: if there was a Gulf Current established by then I would expect a
similar climate pattern, albeit accommodating for the interior sea
way, with a tropical southeastern coast drying progressively
northwards and inland.
