The fall season begins our transition to much stronger storm systems as the contrast between warm and cold air helps to drive very dynamic systems. The featured image is a map of radar reflectivity from Sunday evening with surface fronts drawn by yours truely. This storm system is in its occluded stage with the low pressure center well behind the warm and cold fronts. Sometimes this formation is called a "T-bone". Another strong system is expected to affect our weather already on Tuesday as our active pattern continues.
