Re: Wind Directions Specific to Emily and the Yucatan
Sun Jul 17 2005 07:50 PM

Emily is such a small storm that it is likely only having a minimal impact on the winds over S. Florida, whether at the surface or at lower levels. I'm looking at the surface observations right now and can't see much evidence of winds blowing towards the east; I can see them going to the west, however.

During the summertime, the surface & low-level winds can be dominated locally by the seabreeze, resulting in winds coming onshore across the peninsula, but I don't think that is what you are talking about here. Looking at satellite, I see the very high cirrus clouds -- tops off of the thunderstorms over the southern part of the state, really -- and this is a sign of the northern periphery of the upper-level ridge that is over & just north of Emily. It's a narrow ridge north-south, but rather strong despite that, keeping the storm moving generally west & west-northwest.
