1. A baroclinic zone should result in rising motion due to density differences. This will result in atmospheric condensation and thus precipitation. TRANSLATION: A front will bring us rain 2. 6-sided crystalline aggregates are being gravitationally forced to the surface. TRANSLATION: It is snowing 3. The horizontal pressure gradient force is quite tight. TRANSLATION: It is windy 4. Inflow and horizontal vorticity have been tilted into the mesocylone. TRANSLATION: A tornado is forming 5. Condensation is occurring upon condensation nuclei as the parcel lifts, cools adiabatically and becomes saturated. TRANSLATION: A cloud is forming 6. Sensible heat and a high vapor pressure of water molecules are producing extremely high theta-E values. TRANSLATION: It is hot and humid 7. Latent heat release is producing bomb-o-genesis and an intensification of the thermal wind. TRANSLATION: A Nor'easter is developing 8. Isentropic lifting is producing large scale synoptic uplift north of the warm front. TRANSLATION: Clouds and precipitation are north of the warm front 9. CG 12 o'clock with towering Q. TRANSLATION: Lightning struck in front of us from a developing thunderstorm cloud 10. The line echo wave pattern is being fed by warm air advection and moisture convergence. TRANSLATION: A line of thunderstorms is developing 11. A veering wind in the vertical indicates warm air advection and synoptic uplift. TRANSLATION: Warm air rises |
