Tropical disturbance forms in the Eastern Pacific!!!!

#1 Postby Matthew5 » Sun May 16, 2004 8:09 am

Tropical low forms in the Eastern Pacific just as the hurricane season begains...

The IR satellite shows a low at around 8 north/83 west moving west.

Here is a pic of it.

Here is a visible loop of a developing tropical low/distrabance.

The surface map shows a low.

There is a area of light/decreasing wind shear centered over the tropical distrabance. Which means that area is favable in terms of winds at all levels being about the same. In favable enough for tropical cyclone development over the next few days. The wind shear over this is 5 to 10 mph.

Shear has definitely been decreasing in the EPAC, that is for sure (south of around 10º N).
