Like you show in your next post, there is a passing meso-vortex, which may combine with a region of enhanced convergence on the southern end of the lake to lift non-surface air to free convection, but it is hard to envision this being classic lake effect in terms of modification of the surface air through surface heat fluxes.Adam Varblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991968453822376063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-1100432942960523092014-03-07T11:16:33.455-07:002014-03-07T11:16:33.455-07:00I appreciate the info with this latest post-- I ...I appreciate the info with this latest post-- I was just scratching my head about the LE showers- knowing the lapse rate was small. I am about to read the link you posted... thanks- Grant WeymanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
