Meteorological EnvironmentKey Points
• Warm and moist low level air – Surface temperatures and dewpoints about ten
degrees above normal, enhancing instability.• Dry air aloft
– Seen on water vapor imagery and soundings, aiding parcel buoyancy and lowering wet bulb zero height.
• Upper level disturbance– PVA enhancing lift, and cooling temps aloft
steepening lapse rates/instability.• Jet streak
– Left front quadrant enhancing divergence aloft/lift• Low level convergence/boundaries
– source of lift
