700 mb heights, wind, temperature and frontogenesis

Notes:

The wave was also forecast to remain open at 700 mb. The event began with a modest region of frontogenesis located over upstate New York associated with a confluent flow at 12z on the 14th. A more significant region of frontogenesis was forecast to develop over upstate New York and New England from 00z-06z on the 15th on the northeast side of the upper wave as a short wave trough became juxtaposed with a strong baroclinic zone.
