Re: Tropical Storm Barry forms in Gulf of Mexico

From another forum an hour ago:

That meso swirl that was rotating around the eastern and northern side of the broader circulation may have disrupted a persistent push upstream. High tide was around 4-4:30 pm. These last couple flights have shown a tendency for the lowest sea level pressures to be farther south than that swirl today although by just a few mb's i.e. Kermit currently finding 996 up over the far southern marshes and 991 maybe 100 miles south. Still a somewhat broad elongated inner structure but I do agree, from the last 6 hours of HDOB drops there does finally seem to be some consolidation happening. How far south that might end up being? We've seen the low level circulations tuck under stronger convection in past TS's/canes before.




One reply of note:

Honestly, it looks like that meso vortex has become the dominant one as it tracks southward and gets pulled into the mid-level circulation and deep convection.




Interesting...
