Re: The 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins Today

SST in the northern Gulf is about 27C, but that is adequate since this system is more of a subtropical event. Windshear in the northern GOM is quite light so upper air conditions are favorable. NHC currently gives the feature a 20% chance for development and that probability could increase tomorrow and Friday.

UPDATE 02/12AM: 93L is starting to encounter increasing shear - its really scooting along. The shear and a drier environment should keep this little system well in check.
