Arctic Front vs. Gulf of Mexico
Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen a satellite like this. This is the visible GOES East 01/02/2008 12:29 PM. The front seems to feather the clouds and I'm not sure why they disappear over Florida. Anybody know? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../ColdFront.jpg -- Dallas |

Anybody know? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../ColdFront.jpg -- Dallas The clouds behind the front are not disappearing over Florida, they are forming over the warm, open Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean as the very cold, dry air interacts with warmer, moist air. High winds are pushing the high altitude clouds southward away from the coast. The frontal zone itself is preceded by lower altitude clouds with precipitation, etc. with wind moving typically SW to NE. This time the front was followed by winds from approx due north, straight down the peninsula, giving us some really cold air, having not passed over water as usual before it gets to us in Central Florida.
