They were travelling in a southwesterly direction.
1 a wind that comes from the southwest --
Westerly and southwesterly winds prevail, bringing precipitation with them.
Due to a blocking area of high pressure, it took an unusual southwesterly track.
At the same time, light southwesterly wind shear began to develop.
In other words, southwesterly shear forces the bulk of the rainfall north-northeast of the center.
An upper-level low to the west caused strong southwesterly wind shear, which inhibited development.
However, due to increasingly colder waters and the presence of inhibiting southwesterly wind shear, it immediately stopped intensifying.
The main creek flows southwesterly from the confluence through a gap in the coastal ridge.
Accelerating northwestward within deep southwesterly flow, continued unfavorable upper-level winds caused the low-level center to rapidly separate from the convective mass.
