Question About The Ridge

#1 Postby Ajarens » Thu Sep 02, 2004 12:11 am

I am very amateur at this, so try and put up with me.
I notice the ridge to the north that is to keep F from going on a NW track.
However, it sure does look to me that it is also digging around the west side of F. The cloud cover out in front of her seems to have hit a wall, as does the northern cloud cover. If I am at least kind of correct, and F is blocked off North and starting to from the West.. where does she go and which will win?

novice here but i would say west to wsw but I think more west and that influence to the n is the greater factor!

Yes our local met was pretty intent on mentioning a possible stall and then wait and see. I mean look at how divergent the models are! scroll down to the model map
