OD Nats 2013 Aug 27 Weather Synopsis

Tuesday is again an interesting day. First, I love this XC Skies time-height series plot. It's relative humidity to 40,000 ft with winds depicted as well as the evolution of the boundary layer. This one plot can tell me if I should call in sick for the next day or not. It literally has that much information implied within it.



It's hard to not notice the amount of moisture shown as a percentage of relative humidity aloft over night and into tomorrow. Winds seem reasonable in the lower levels from the south. But the moisture convective clouds can tap into is impressive, and so I suspect we're in for a ride.

More updates in the morning after new model runs are out and the NWS weighs in with their thoughts...
