Description
An overcast deck of stratocumulus in the morning can really ruin a perfectly good (but wrong) forecast for afternoon convection. Such stratocumulus is typical in the warm and humid air mass. The same moisture that creates the huge instabilities conducive to severe convection, also promotes low deck stratocumulus. This stratocumulus can exist for any of the good reasons that creates local, low level lift in the air mass. Terrain lift, shoreline convergence, frictional convergence, isobaric curvature and even a decreasing pressure tendency can all create this stratocumulus. The energy required to burn through this cloud is lost for daytime heating of the ground and thus convection. As a result, this difficult to predict cloud can really toast the forecast for severe afternoon convection. The backlit clouds like this are typically bright around the edges while those that are front lit are brightest in the middle of the cloud mass.
We always comment about the tall trees sticking above the American horizon - anomalies of height - maybe elm?
This is the view from Brockville to Morristown, New York State.
