Fighting the dry air
Posted: 17 Nov 2009 06:08 AM
The storm system to our south continues to slowly churn away and push
moisture north into Iowa. The northward advancement of the
precipitation has been impeded by a large amount of dry air being
pushed into the state on northeasterly winds. The featured map is a
combination of wind barbs, relative humidity, and NEXRAD from Monday
evening. Notice the blotchy nature of the precipitation shield over
unsaturated air and how the NEXRAD presentation changes as the
relative humidity approaches 100%.
