Gulf of Mexico Wind Shear

#1 Postby ColdFront77 » Sat Jun 14, 2003 1:12 am

The upper level wind shear is lessening a bit in the central and more so eastern Gulf of Mexico, along with the very warm water temperatures something may form in the not so distance future.

Barometric pressure off the extreme southern Texas coast was near 1010 millibars, 29.83 inches late last night.

...and the possible developing system, which is currently over an area of decreasing shear is currently expected to move WNW and/or NW toward this low and decreasing area of shear.
