September Sunrise Weather Story

Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
The atmospheric ocean was on full display looking westward across Singleton Lake while the sun rose on my back. The sea of altocumulus clouds filled the sunrise sky with gravity waves. Spirals of Arctic sea smoke twirled and twisted in columns as they rose off the warm water of the lake into the chilly air above. I would swim for just another few days before the weather turned and became more seasonal. The autumn colours of the Singleton forest would soon be peaking.
The front-lit, wind-driven gravity waves of altocumulus cloud were part of the anticyclonic companion of a large and slow-moving weather system approaching from Illinois. Embedded swells in the atmospheric ocean were roughly perpendicular to the wind-generated waves. The light, easterly surface winds were part of the cold conveyor belt. This was going to be a significant weather event but I had other things to do then. The cloud can reveal the entire weather story if we only take the time to listen.
I could not afford to spend the morning standing on the marble ridge. I had to get ready for winter and other things.
