Frontogenesis cross-section - March 7, 06z

Notes:

This cross section of frontogenesis and negative EPV (an indication of reduced stability) taken across the frontal zone at 06z on the 7th, indicates an area of reduced stability (negative EPV; blue shading), above a sloped region of frontogenesis. This is a classic signature for the development of heavy precipitation.
