Bad News Bears.
Like Wow.
The convection center that was over the Gulf of Mexico has attained a full vortex circulation that is established over Mexico.
Hurricane Maria has achieved Cat 3 status and is sustaining it. It is taking the place of a vortex flow that has moved off the satellite picture. Maria is serving as the heat dissipation that is coming along the 'system' from the equator. This system is a stable system.
Maria and Nate are fully ocean hurricanes driving heat into the waters.
Ophelia is a pull me, push you that carries heat from the equator to the system while also accepting energy (heat energy) form the Mexco Convection system.
There are a lot of storms over the Gulf.
There is also a southern reaching vortex that maifested about three hours ago. It was spawned off Nate and reaches the ocean/continent border with South America.
There are storms across the Gulf and Mexico into the Pacific.
This is a pattern I have seen before BUT the system has never been this stable. It's sustaining itself. This type of system manifested Katrina.
While these hurricanes are delivering heat to the oceans, which is very dangerous to our ocean heating at highly accelerated rates with stable hurricanes in place, they are also absorbing heat which increases their Cat level and mph rate. They are building to a cresendo. The system does have a limit. there is a storm over Missouri, too.
The stretch of 'water vapor' shared between Nate and Maria looks like a dense cloud. That is new. I have never seen a high resolution water vapor satellite that actually looks like clouds. I can only imagine what is happening in the oceans under these two hurricanes.
Maria still reaches up to the Arctic Ocean.
We are looking at a stable system that dates back to Sept. 1 with Maria. We may be looking at resident hurricanes for some time.
Global Warming.
It's going to make the oceans too hot. Algae and phytoplankton won't be able to live under a great deal of heat.
