700 mb heights, 250 mb wind speed and Q vectors - 2/5 09z
Notes:
Other similarities to the conceptual model for laterally translating bands include that central New York and northern Pennsylvania were in the right entrance region of an upper jet, in southwest flow northeast of a mid-level low center. On this slide, the yellow vectors are the component of the 700-500 mb Q vector perpendicular to the isotherms, and the purple vectors are the component of the 700-500 mb Q vector parallel to the isotherms.
