Large dewpoint depression throughout lower and middle troposphere
Precipitation not likely since uplift will have difficulty saturating the air
Deep layer of continental air (cT or cP)
Diurnal temperature range at surface will be large due to maximum night time radiation loss and
maximum day time solar energy (converted directly to sensible heat)
Most commonly found in interior western U.S., high plains, and northern plains
