Wind Direction

Posted: 27 Oct 2016 05:40 AM

The featured chart displays a time series of wind direction reports from all automated airport weather stations in the state. A low pressure system moved over the state yesterday and a high pressure system settled into the state overnight. The impact of both systems on the distribution of wind direction reports is interesting to look at! The chart shows consistent wind direction reports on Tuesday from the east and southeast. The circulation around the low pressure system on Wednesday spread all the reports to show all directions reported at the same time in the state. The high pressure overnight effectively reversed all those reports as the circulation is opposite. Kind of neat!
