Just went down to the Beach here on Dauphin Island and the winds are howling from the East, sandblasting the thin-skinned Tourists!
The waves are very rough and no one is in the water...
This seems to be due to a strong pressure gradient between the little low to our south and the high to our north.
Does anyone have any idea when the shear over the low will relax?

The shear looks to be decreasing over the system over the last few hours at 5 to 10 knots. With 10 knots over the system 20 knots or more to the north http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real- ... shr-1.html

Hi Rockyman,
Still looks like the east winds at the surface will blow again on Sunday with high pressure to your northeast and a frontal zone across the central Gulf. The winds will lighten up some on Monday. The frontal zone across the central Gulf will have to be watched for possible tropical development next couple of days due to a light shear environment aloft over the central Gulf. Westerly shear aloft will increase across the northern Gulf on Tuesday and the light shear environment should shift into the southwest Gulf. This may coincide with a tropical wave now tracking WNW across the northwest Caribbean, something to keep an eye on.
