.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO THE CLOUD TOPS
HAVE BEGUN TO WARM ACROSS MOST OF THE LES PLUME OVER THE LAKE... THIS
IS MAINLY DUE TO TWO FACTORS. THE FIRST CAN BE SEEN ON WV LOOP AND SAT
WINDS WITH MID LEVEL FLOW OUT OF THE NW WHILE SFC FLOW STILL REMAINS
DUE WESTERLY BREAKING THE NEARLY PERFECT UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW THROUGHOUT
THE ENTIRE DEPTH OF THE PLUME.  THE SECOND IS MID-LEVEL WARMING THAT IS
SINKING AND LOWERING THE LAKE INVERSION LEVEL/EL FROM THE ~13K FT RANGE
TO BELOW 10K FT.  WITH THE WARMING TOPS SATELLITE ESTIMATED RATES ARE
STILL ABOUT 2"/HR ACROSS S OSWEGO AND NW ONEIDA COUNTIES...BUT AS THE
WARMING CONTINUES TO PROGRESS INLAND...RATES WILL DECREASE TO AROUND
1" OR LESS AS THE INVERSION STRENGTHENS AND SINKS OVER THE NEXT 3-6".
PLUME DIRECTION WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT TOWARD THE SW...BUT WILL BIFURCATE
WITH THE INCREASED DIRECTIONAL SHEAR.
