There's an upper-level low just north of western Cuba, but Key West radar shows only a couple of scattered thunderstorms north of the low. Nothing down there worth noting, tropical-wise. Wind shear is very high across the Gulf.

Waterspouts are very comman in that area. Thought maybe thats what redder saw on the radar :wink:

?????? Thats not high

I've noticed a lot of people beginning to using Shear TENDENCY maps in lieu of actual shear maps; this is a serious mistake.

Actually shear isn't amazingly high, but the Eastern GOM isn't all that favorable; ULL too close to the South, UL high too far to the North.

Actually Derecho, the shear tendency map just overlays the actual shear which is denoted by the colors......

I see no problem at all with using this map
