So why are people excited over it? right now montana has a 1000mb pressure which i know is over land but you see my point so please help me see what you see so I can get excited too. Thanks
It's pressure difference that's important. Right now the pressure is high over
most areas at least 1014 millibars over GOM but if one spot drops to 1010 its
a somewhat notable difference. With montana Im not sure but I think
it's a different environment with a Land Low over the area probably.
But in the tropics something droping to 1010 over warm water might be
notable depending on other conditions.
And I must say this is quite a blob over the central gulf of mexico
Nothing too scary, but enough to get my close attention.
