Description
This is the view of the approaching spring storm from the lake side. The gravity waves and deformation zones continue to tell the same story which is only right. It is the same weather as painted in #1913 "Approaching Storm".
The gravity wave banding in the altocumulus was more obvious in this view but they were directed perpendicular to the anticyclonic winds spinning around the vorticity minimum of the convex, advection deformation zone. The higher level portions of the warm conveyor belt in the upper right of the painting revealed the gravity waves that one would expect with the southwesterly flow of warm and moist air originating from the Gulf of Mexico - which is the warm conveyor belt. The fact that we see the banding around the vorticity minimum at all reveals the importance of the relative flows in the atmosphere in generating the cloud patterns. The entire storm of the warm conveyor belt was indeed pushing toward the northeast but the cloud shapes were formed by the atmosphere frame of reference winds.
The band of thicker altostratus on the western horizon was the next step to saturate the air mass and produce nimbostratus and rain. The bulk of this precipitation would pass to the north of Singleton since the vorticity minimum portion of the deformation zone was tracking over the lake.
Conceptual models of atmospheric circulations are instrumental to really understand the sky and the weather. I feel that the pioneers and explorers had a practical appreciation of these patterns and thus did very well. It is nice that science can further validate their grass root observations.
