Just to ...Thanks for the observations, Liz and Dan! Just to add my two cents in to the discussion, sometimes that precipitation to the west and south of the cyclone center is associated with vertical motions forced by the upper-level trough or by Qs convergence in the vicinity of the cyclone center. In other cases, you can actually have a secondary cold frontal boundary that trails the initial one. These secondary boundaries typically have weaker precipitation (if any at all) given the air mass in the wake of the primary front is drier and cooler. Nevertheless, these secondary cold fronts can reinforce a shot of cold air that may accompany these cyclones, especially as we get into the late fall and winter season!Andrew Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986604258205248610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639528225239507032.post-34405698994403818142014-10-13T20:20:26.453-05:002014-10-13T20:20:26.453-05:00Dan,

While the "comma" shape of the band moved east, there was precipitation that stayed pretty stationary in northwestern Missouri and northeastern Kansas. We noticed something similar last week on the NEXRAD, with almost a secondary band of precipitation to the west. Is this a common observation in cyclones? What causes this precipitation?<br />Great job Rachel and Sam!Elizabeth Schenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083330980945126060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639528225239507032.post-14393781444954645242014-10-13T17:50:11.960-05:002014-10-13T17:50:11.960-05:00Hey guys,

Did you know perhaps why that was occurring or what possible factors are at play in its origination?<br /><br />Other than, nicely written and job well done!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790833954666805275noreply@blogger.com
