.....at least that's how they're described in the latest Tropical Weather Discussion: SCATTERED MODERATE TO STRONG CONVECTION IS WITHIN 120 NM OF THE COAST OF MEXICO FROM E OF ACAPULCO TO MAZATLAN. SCATTEROMETER DATA ALSO SHOWS SOUTHERLY FLOW SOUTH OF THE ITCZ AND WELL DEVELOPED MONSOON FLOW EAST OF 108W FEEDING INTO S MEXICO. GFS MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS T.D.11-E MOVING INLAND AND DISSIPATING TODAY WHILE RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND VORTICITY SPINS UP AS A LOW IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THE ITCZ WILL BECOME CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WEST OF 110W WHILE THE STRONG SW MONSOON WINDS SUBSIDE EAST OF 110W. It feels kind of monsoon-ish today. Wonder how much more rain we'll get? Down south, TD 11-E has now moved onshore and may continue east, all the way into the Gulf of Mexico. Don't think I've ever seen that before. |
