While 93L is sliding inland, 18Z GFS Okubo-Weiss shows tightening near TX/LA coast. Mid-level structure is pivoting toward cyclogenesis, and surface pressure remains broad but organized. We might be heading for late-stage intensification à la Pacific-style landfall behavior. Eyes on Houston shift from “periphery” to “potential participant.”
Hi! Have you written more articles about what upper-level wind configurations were creating hostile conditions? I wanted to try and understand it a little better!
In the 45+ years I have professionally forecast or monitored Tropical cyclones - I cannot recall seeing such anemic Tropical Waves crossing and especially moving off the West African coast. Highly unusual even for JUL
I'll take the quiet 🏖
Me too!
