WiskWind Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Just saw this strange radar loop for Jacksonville. Precipitation is moving both onshore and off. There is no low pressure in the area, at least according to the latest surface map. Source of radar loop is the MyRadar app, which claims it gets its data directly from radar sites.

Radar loop What you're seeing is low-topped convection under 10,000ft blowing from east to west in the easterly winds w/ precip in the higher levels of the atmosphere being blown from west to east in the mid/upper level westerlies. There is precip at many levels of the atmosphere because the surface to the upper-levels are moist enough to support it. That's a rough explaination of what's going on. Someone else can probably explain it in better detail than me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
