I am reading aviation weather in an effort to better understand weather .Today is a nice clear windy day here in PA with some mod turb I decided to scrub my pleasure flight due to forcast high winds b/c it wouldn't be all that much fun . Then I decided to put to practice what I have been reading in Aviation Weather and was scanning the ADDS site to try and understand and predict the various types of weather around the county. There is a huge ridge of High Pressure extendinng from Central Texas to the Northwest. There also seems to be a trough of low pressure extending parallel and to the west of it, perhaps on the westernside of the sierra nevadas. What kind of weather are or could you be expecting to see between these two? due to the significant drop in pressure I would expect to see sever Wx but am not seeing it. Here is a screen shot showing the winds, isobars and pressures at the surface. Look forward to hearing your advice.
