upper ridges

[boca]

Does a high pressure upper ridge not a surface ridge deflect a hurricane in a different direction just curious?Ex an upper ridge over Luisiana and Mississippi would push the hurricane into S texas North Mexico.

[x-y-no]

Weak cylones are mostly influenced by lower level features, but as hurricanes get stronger (deeper) they are more and more influenced by mid to high level features.

So for a strong hurricane, the answer would be yes.

Here is a good link that tells what the steering is at each level of the atmosphere and tells you which level you go by based on the strength in pressure (MB) of the storm or cane.
