As shown in the plot below, the highest wind gust at Buoy 41048 was 41.0 m\/s (79.7 knots, or 97.7 mph) at 2010 UTC<\/strong><\/a> (data transmission from the buoy ceased after 2310 UTC). The strong winds from Lee produced wave heights<\/strong><\/a> to 32 ft — and produced upwelling that cooled the water temperature<\/strong><\/a> several degrees.<\/p>\n Plot of wind speed (blue), wind gust (red) and air pressure (green) at Buoy 41048<\/p><\/div>\n In 1-minute GOES-16 \u201cClean\u201d Infrared Window (10.3 \u00b5m<\/strong><\/a>) images\u00a0(below)<\/strong><\/em>, the coldest cloud tops exhibited infrared brightness temperatures around -80\u00baC (brighter shades of white embedded within darker black regions).<\/p>\n GOES-16 “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 \u00b5m) images, from 1700 UTC on 14 September to 0300 UTC on 15 September [click to play animated GIF | MP4<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/div>Analyses of deep-layer wind shear<\/strong><\/a> from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones<\/strong><\/a> site (below)<\/strong><\/em> showed that Lee was moving into an environment of increasingly unfavorable shear as it gained latitude — which was acting to suppress the development of deep convection and the maintenance of a well-defined eye.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
