Sunday, November 3. How were the Allegheny ridges working yesterday from Eagle Field, PA to Covington, VA. Any over-development or snow showers?
In the not-quite-useful response category:
On Sunday in Front Royal VA, the Massanutten was not working, except for the very northern tip, which was just barely perpendicular to the very northerly winds. My SN-10 reported with high confidence that the winds were 000 at 18 when I launched at 10:30ish. The winds got more westerly as the day went on, and I eventually contacted weak wave up above 10,000 feet. None of the private ships assembled at KFRR except for me, so I had the wave to myself. The wave I contacted was generated by the Alleghenies.
Although I was significantly west of the main ridge, I did get high enough to see all the way to Petersburg, and didn't see any precipitation, just blue and an occasional roll cloud.
