Description
The atmosphere was in a blocking pattern. A large high pressure area had been parked over Bermuda all week. Minor upper troughs had been diverted from their normal zonal path, up and over the northern edge of the blocking high. Each one of these troughs was like a spoke on a wheel and as they swung past they were liable to bring showers and thunderstorms if the timing was right and the air mass was unstable. It made for an interesting sky. The gravity waves revealed that the winds were westerly aloft. In the lower atmosphere some strands of cumulus fractus revealed that the wind was more southwesterly. This flow was direct from the hot and humid southern United States. This wind profile was very conducive to thunderstorms - which indeed did develop in the later afternoon hours.
