User blog:MeringueOcean/May 9, 2018 - Four Low Pressure Areas Form

Inspired by HurricaneMonster Hey there, folks! Forecaster Belle Benson here.

LPA #1: Northern Hemisphere

The first low pressure area is just below the second low pressure area. The low pressure is expected to intensify into a tropical storm before making landfall, and is expected to degenerate as it enters an area of high wind shear and dry air.

LPA #2: Northern Hemisphere

The second low pressure area is just north of the first LPA. Gathering strength in low wind shear and warm ocean waters, it is expected to intensify into a major hurricane as it heads towards land and then recurves out to sea.

LPA #1: Southern Hemisphere

The first LPA below the equator is gathering strength real quick and is expected to intensify into a major hurricane-- possibly a Category 5-- before it moves ashore.

LPA #2: Southern Hemisphere

Being farther away from the equator, the second LPA is in a region of cold ocean waters, and it is expected to dissipate shortly after this forecast.

So there you are, folks!
