Conditions to Form a Hurricane

bull Warm ocean water (at least 80˚F 27˚C) through a depth of about 150 feet

bull An atmosphere that cools fast bull Moist air near mid-level tropospherebull A minimum distance from the equator of

about 300 miles (but not within 5˚ latitude)bull A disturbance near the surfacebull Low vertical wind shear between surface and

troposphere (of less than 23mph)
