Bore-ing

04 Oct 2007 06:38 AM
So much happened on Tuesday that it is filling two days worth of features! This webcam image was taken from the Saylorville Lake webcam on Tuesday morning, you can see clearing on both sides of the cloud that is moving to the east. This feature is showing the wave motion in the atmosphere with downward motion (trough) in the clear area and upward motion (crest) where the cloud is. The experts are still looking at the data from this event, but early indications are that it was a bore! You can view webcam lapses from Tama, Indianola, and Saylorville Lake.
