The current outbreak of cold air that has moved into the Southeast from Canada is blowing strongly outside my window tonight, dropping temperatures quickly to near-freezing levels.  This outbreak is so strong that it has produced a “Tehuantepecer” or flow across Mexico from the Gulf of Mexico into the Pacific Ocean basin.  You can read about them at Wikipedia here<\/a>.  The flow is easy to see in the streamline analysis–I have drawn a red arrow to designate the flow across Mexico.  In addition, in the false-color MODIS image on the bottom, you can see river-effect cloud and snow bands trailing off the Missouri River in South Dakota, where water temperatures are still 40-50 F while the air temperature is near zero.  For a visible animated satellite picture, go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
