Description
This is the second demonstration piece for "Making Waves on Chantry" 2007. The fog and stratus had lifted and transformed into cumulus over the land. The bright tops of the cumulus were apparent further inland where daytime heating was having more of an impact. We deduced that Chantry Island was still on the cool side of the warm front. The mixed boundary layer winds were more southeasterly while the winds aloft where clearly southerly. The Ekman spiral can explain this veering of the wind but this was clearly warm frontal veering. The clincher was the stable layer identified by gravity waves that were created by the southerly winds aloft. The top of the stable layer is the warm front. Meteorology may sound complicated but it is all in describing the three dimensional layering of air masses and wind.
Towering cumulus developed from the warm frontal surface as I was doing the sketch so I painted them in. The surface warm front arrived about an hour later and the skies cleared. The winds veered to the south and it got even more humid and almost hot even though we were surrounded by the cool waters of Lake Huron. The official forecast of "Showers and Thunderstorms" continued to be misguided.
