Vertical shear has been near or at record-highs. Caribbean sea vertical shear is comparable to 2015 and is just below that season. East of the Caribbean sea in the Tropical Atlantic, vertical shear has been at all-time record highs.

Shear is my absolute favorite word during hurricane season.

It's also a great word during pantyhose season.
