I think it is because there often isn't a great deal of cold air behind our typical fronts--the isobars usually are not kinked that well, I think Cliff will agree, there ought to be a nice kink at the front. It ought to be a very nice satellite image midday Friday. Larry, the radar often gets a streak at sunrise and sunset, could be that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-67580825084314885892011-01-05T14:47:57.135-08:002011-01-05T14:47:57.135-08:00At about 550 feet of elevation in Sammamish, we st...At about 550 feet of elevation in Sammamish, we still have a bit of snow from last week.

You call it "strong". Does that mean it has a higher pressure inside it, or does it cover a bigger area, and is that why it interests you? I would like to know why this is so unusual. Also, another tangent that is interesting to me if you haven't already discussed it: is it just me, or are we seeing way more southeast winds than usual in the past few months. I love southeast winds, and we seem to have a lot of them this year, am I wrong?east woodinvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513542148227918877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-28157414741827943522011-01-05T10:33:21.940-08:002011-01-05T10:33:21.940-08:00What makes for a "beautiful" front?

I ask this because I thought the heavy rains down there were more indicative to El Nino's, not La Nina's.<br />Thanks!LorbeerTLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745856465096927679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-57658798969526637772011-01-04T22:51:54.863-08:002011-01-04T22:51:54.863-08:00Cliff, did you see the 00z Jan5th GFS??
