Northwest Flow

[Bob Hartig]

We are used to seeing and wanting winds out of the south or southeast for a SW flow event, but with a NW flow you want to see winds out of the SW, winds that we are used to calling veering winds and winds that we usually want to stay away from with SW flow systems. Everything is just turned 90 degrees clockwise, plus you dont get hybrid HP monsters.

That makes complete sense to me.

Good stuff, Bob (@Bob Hartig ). These kind of systems have always amazed me. Good to know what goes into their production and then the ingredients needed to get severe weather events and their subsequent modes. Something to watch out for this way come summer.
