Re: [STORMREPORTS] Invasion of Incredibly DRY Air

I don't begin to know exactly why this happened, but
my guess is that it was such a strong cold front that
produced a significant line of severe storms that
really worked over the atmosphere, and with such a
strong pressure gradient, and the low pressure system
pulling quickly northward taking all energy and
moisture out of the area, the cold air just hasn't had
a chance to get to the surface and set in behind the
front. I would expect, as is forecasted, that
tomorrow night with clear skies and calm winds, temps
will adjust well and catch up with the dewpoint. The
obs sound unreasonable, but needless to say, an
unseasonable, exceptionally strong weather system for
this time of year has affected the eastern third of
the nation with unusually disturbed weather. Cool
Stuff!
Somebody tell us what really happened as this is just
a guess. Very interesting. The most drastic official
report I could find here in Asheville, NC was a temp
of 67, dewpoint 16, humidity 14% from NWS.
