NW GOM Getting Setup
Posted by JAC on 7/7/2009, 6:19 am
Surface pressures are dropping.

UL atmosphere is calming way down - WV showing a nice ridge.

Shear is generally running 10 knots and dropping.

The large-amp trop wave now moving thru the Carib will make its way up into the GOM in a couple days.

The wave looks to be slowing down and could stall out in the GOM.

A 1004 mb warm-core low is currently over north Mexico.

Euro is forecasting a deep warm-core to develop in 36 hrs further east but still over land.

A stalled front along the south CONUS coast.

Unstable air in the GOM.

All in all, a lot of factors are adding up for something to fire up in a few days.
