I know it’s hard to believe today but this was the wx last week in Chicago 🌩️ If you look at the prog chart you’ll see a warm front followed by a dry line and a cold front that extends north. A dry line will typically form north to south in the southern and central plains of the United States. This line represents the boundary between the moist air that is drawn up from the Gulf of Mexico, and the drier air blowing across the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Convective activity begins at the dryline because it’s where the densities of the 2 air masses converge. The dry dense air acts like a wedge, lifting the less dense moist air. This behavior creates a lifting action. DM me to nerd out about wx 🤓🥰
