Worldwide Tropical Update: 13 June

#1 Postby senorpepr » Sun Jun 13, 2004 12:19 am

03Z is posted. It's been tough without the help of NRL Monterey. This update features no simple links to satellite imagery. Instead I've posted the FNMOC webpage. (Back up for NRL)

On this update...

Cool ocean waters?

Cool ocean waters, huh? The GOM is in the low 80's down there.
I wouldn't consider that cool ocean waters.

The water temps are around 78-80F. It's a bit on the cool side. If it were a few degree warmer, that would be another factor to favor development. In this case... it is not.

Temperature between 78°F and 80°F are within the range of tropical development criteria. I have heard not
only is 80°F the threshold, but 79°F can be at time, as well.

Sea surface temperatures further northward in the central and eastern Gulf are in the low to mid 80's.

True... very close to criteria, but I would like to see low to mid 80s this time of year in this region before I start letting my freak flag fly. Additionally, there is a cold pool of water whose axis lies from Louisiana to the Yucatan. I'm not saying it's going to hurt development, I'm saying it's not going to help it. (If that makes since... it's late :D )

Yeah, you sure do. It's just been a long day. A busy day at work, plus trying to keep abreast of all the "excitement" here on 93L, plus the rest of the world, plus the severe weather over me. BLAH! :D
