Fronts Collide

A weak warm front came from the gulf and collided with a cold front from Canada producing some precipitation in the northeast.

The black and dark grey areas are the coldest and tallest parts of the clouds.

This made for some pretty warm and windy conditions for the Radford area but no precipitation.

You can see Florida sitting down there, relaxing in the warm and dry air.
