We often see tropical disturbances under 10 knots of wind shear that do not develop. Why? Oftentimes, this is because cold, dry air aloft associated with an upper level trough of low pressure is ...
Tropical storms typically start as a tropical wave, or low-pressure ... upper-level winds over the Atlantic tend to be stronger than usual, and thus stronger wind shear results.
When the wind shear is strong enough, "it’s essentially blowing the top off the hurricane and you no longer have an effective heat engine." Low wind shear is a hurricane enabler Milton’s ...
