BTV is like 330ft. They can torch pretty well with the right flow. Same goes for the IZG/N. Conway area.
I think most understand the scalar vs anomaly differences, but these over the top shots have been so extreme even the scalar values are higher over NNE than SNE.
Maybe this one will play out differently, but the ec op has a couple of shots with the warmest mid level temps passing through NNE. As has been the theme, there's a remnant ULL turd in the punch bowl from the mid-atlantic into far SNE that's is just enough to keep the heat from being too extreme.
