Tropical Storm Hermine’s rapid formation in the Gulf of Mexico is one of the fastest on record.
Hermine went from tropical depression to tropical storm in just 21-hours over the weekend, an extremely fast intensification rate. Hurricane Humberto in 2007 holds the record at 18-hours. Impact Weather Meteorologist Chris Hebert is a hurricane expert. He says Hermine’s quick development was no surprise, since the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is prone to these types of rapid formations.
“We had been looking at that disturbance in the eastern Pacific on Thursday and Friday and some of the model guidance had been predicting for the past week, that part of that disturbance would move into the Bay of Campeche, and develop into some kind of low pressure system in the gulf that would track up toward northeastern Mexico. So a couple of days before, we had already alerted our clients to that possibility that something would be developing there and tracking up in the general direction that it did.”
Public Media Texas is based in Austin. We embrace our local presence in Austin with our hyper-local East Austin site 78702.org. We contribute to the discussion of the environment in the Southwest and the state of politics in Texas. We also seek to understand the dynamic between the U.S. and Mexico along our shared border. Along the way we search for artistic expressions that reflect and provide more perspective on the Lone Star state.
Dive on in.
