Lake Band Eye Candy

I love it when a band comes together.

The loop below shows the development.  Note in particular the surge of northerly or northeasterly flow along the northern Wasatch Front and into the North Salt Lake City/Bountiful Area as the band forms.  What is chicken and what is egg is unclear, but we have seen similar surges in other events, but don't understand their cause or their role in lake-effect events.
