Between 0 and -10 C#14 Suppose it is snowing heavily in CH and winds are coming from the east. What type of precipitation region is present? Assume that a cyclone is centered southwest of the area. Overrunning precipitation#26 Which of the following conditions promote the occurrence of hail? Both 1 and 3 (very strong updrafs and a low freezing level)#32 Wind direction at location 2? South#33 Wind direction at location 1? North I. Lake-effect snowstorm (currently in the Buffalo area)a. Looking at mapi. Modified arctic high in Gulf Statesii. Fairly low pressure in Northwest Canadaiii. Strong pressure gradient, strong winds in Great Lakes areaiv. Winds are blowing from Southwest over the lake1. Very cold air blowing over warm watera. Tremendous gradientb. Evaporation contributes to latent heat fluxc. Layer of air that’s more moist and warmi. Lake is destabilizing the atmosphere until it reaches the capping inversionThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.v. Moisture fluxes and heat fluxes are much greaterb. Air is convecting up pretty far which can result in
