Warren, I am sure Trevor (Quark) will also come back on this as well.
Saturn is a very Dynamic Planet with storms of various sizes and intensity.
In late 1990 an Ammonia storm completely encircled the planet and lasted for some months
You may know that Saturn Like Jupiter puts out more heat than it receives from the Sun, this is mainly caused by Gravitational contraction. Convection courses gases to rise and fall sometimes quickly and other times lasting some months.
I think this storm will fall into the some months category.
