The following question is based on the enlarged portion of the weather map for August 29 shown here. Three weather stations, marked Land 1 (Lake Charles, LA), Gulf 1, and Gulf 2 (weather buoys in the Gulf of Mexico), are labeled. What explains the difference in wind direction between the three weather stations?
Wind is converging counterclockwise into the center of the storm and so wind is from the northwest in the western part of the storm ("Land 1"), from the southwest in the southern part of the storm ("Gulf 1"), and from the southeast in the eastern part of the storm ("Gulf 2").
