All across the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic..there is a large chance of strong windshear. Unless im reading this thing wrong, every single spot of ocean is in favorable conditions for high wind shear, even the east pacific. Here is the map:

You were actually reading it wrong. It shows the potential for tropical cyclone formation everywhere there is red. That is favorable not unfavorable. Look at the bottom. The shear is only were the blue is.

K.C. is right. The redder the more favorable for tropical development, the bluer the less favorable.

The maps were being read correctly. Most of the Atlantic is unfavorable based upon the maps from a shear sense as there are many areas of unfavorable (few of the highly unfavorable, but anything more than ~8 m/s, especially for developing systems, is typically unfavorable

No they were not being read correctly. The red is the favorable. For development. Weak shear. As you can see you can see the blue in the first images was the shear that tore up possible Alex.

READ THOSE WORDS TROPCICAL CYCLONE INTENSIFICATION POTENTIAL. AND IT SHOWS WHERTHER IT IS FAVORABLE, UNFAVORABLE, OR HIGHLY UNFAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. ALL THE RED IS FAVORABLE.

I'm very confused. I thought red was favorable.

Oh well... it's almost 1am here, a little past my bedtime. :eek:

Only the deepest red is favorable. The orange is NOT. Too much orange on that map. We need to see the very deeo reds expand, which it will later on in the season, just be patient
