Low Pressure in Gulf of Mexico

As it gets closer to the coast, the shear is not so bad.

The upper low is moving out to the north now, taking the surface low with it. Probably 24 hours or less out over the water - not nearly enough time for any development, and SSTs diminish farther north along the coast. Unless there's massive development of squalls around the center today, this one's toast.

Not that it's "Bones worthy", but I have to agree wxman57.

Who'd ever expect such a water laden profile with Northeast winds. Not much instability, but no cap either, so our weak little friend in the Gulf may save me from having to drag out the sprinkler this weekend.




I don't think it would have rained at all at my house last Summer if not for Dolly, Edouard and the September system.

Well it was a good practice run to get everybody in the tropical spirit. And the rain was not wasted, maybe a little to much at once in some places but needed. Next.....................?

I think my official unofficial final numbers for the hurricane thread are too high. Joe Bastardi is still on the weak to low end moderate El Nino, but I have a funny feeling a 1997 season is coming.


But we'll always have off topic and sports, and a few hurricanes to keep the threads going, and Hawai'i is overdue, although, of course, there is no science behind overdue. But there could be warm water.

not so sure... in visible images, the surface low appears to be stationary or slowly moving westward... the water temps do drop off, however, it is sitting over the loop current as we speak... low pegged around 26.5 27N maybe... below is an image of the loop current and gulf temps...

At least it looks better than the past few days. It's making May a little less boring!

90L is back! Lock time!
