#2362 "Sunday Cirrus Coming Near Us"

The high level deformation zone had already passed into western Quebec. The warm air had continued to push far northeastward toward James Bay. This placed the col in the deformation zone skin to the north of Singleton Lake. Gravity waves were more conspicuous in this anticyclonic companion flow of the warm conveyor belt. I positioned the fingers of my right hand in the direction of the cloud drift and my thumb pointed downward. Meteorology can be that simple.

This warm conveyor belt had been pushing northeastward for several days. Pulses of moisture were clearly evident in the satellite view of the warm conveyor belt. This is the typical situation with every flow in the atmosphere in that pulses of flow occur in wave-like patterns with wave-like regularity. One should always anticipate regular variations in the weather regardless which scale of time and space you might be viewing. 

The spring colours were almost fully emerged in the forests. The biting bugs had also emerged. It was going to be a beautiful Sunday in paradise so I decided to make the best of this early morning skyscape.
