Sep 2, 2020 at 10:21 comment added Flater So would it be an accurate analogy to say that a hurricane making landfall is like a rolling ball stopping on a raised ledge? Many balls stopped without the need of that ledge, but the balls that made it to the ledge are statistically likely to be stopped by that increased threshold it now needs to cross?

This changes the pattern of where cyclogenesis may occur, as well as creates more of a boundary for where cyclones may travel.
