Ch 24.5 Hurricanes Tutorial:

Storm systemStorm system characterized by a large low- pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain.low- pressurethunderstorms Wind speed: _______mph Season: June 1 – Nov. 30 Peak Season: Late Summer (Aug.& Sept). Hurricanes

Ingredients 1.Warm tropical waters (80F) Our hurricances form off coast of Africa 2. Low Pressure system above warm water (sucks warm moist air in to create storm) 3.Cumulonimbus clouds form fr. rising warm moist air that condenses 4.Gentle winds (Tradewinds) ROTATE clouds and STEER hurricanes. 5. Eye forms from dense cool air sinking into Low Pressure

Eye: Dense sinking air; dry; calm Eye Wall: is a circle of strong T.storms that surrounds the eye; greatest wind speeds ;precipitation & wind.
