Interesting. Good stuff!! No idea why it would be warmer above 850 at that time there.. Clouds? Not in front of PC right now. Love the profile stuff! Seeing u say PA isnt warmer above makes me assume they are clearer from the surface High when NH still has upper clouds around from being near the Vortex?
Michael Ventrice noticed the warmer than 850 mb pattern as well. Don't know why he called it the tropopause, it looks like an inversion, temperature then keeps decreasing till about 350 mb or so after warming up until 800 mb
Lots of good replies to that. Apparently they were talking about where the temps were as cold as the Tropopause?
I thought tropopause refers to where the level where the atmosphere stops cooling with altitude and become isothermal (no temperature change) or actual rises with temperature. Look at the vertical temperature above 350 mb, it follows a temperature line. Hmm, this what they meant by PVUs:

Hmm. Not sure. I see cooling stop with altitude at same height or even lower a lot of times so not sure why would this be different? I figured because of the extreme cold airmass they were looking at how low it was which isnt a common scene?
The weather got more intense than I was expecting today!
A Pizza Hut was damaged in Alexandria after wind picked up part of a car wash and threw it into the building around lunch time. A couple of minor injuries reported. The roof of Pizza Hut fell on top of some cars.I'm thinking it was straight line winds and not a tornado.
Two rounds of storms came through, one around 8 AM and one after noon. Both produced frequent lightning and small hail. I ended up with 3.26 inches of rain at my house. The airport didn't get as much with 1.48 inches.
