We are seeing convection firing near the intersection of two boundaries (pointed to by the red arrow)…the gradient in theta-e difference from the nearcast product, and a west-east oriented line of cumulus shown in the visible satellite imagery. The METARs, circled in blue, show convergence of dry downslope winds and relatively moist upslope flow in that same area where the boundaries intersect. If the simulated IR imagery for later this evening is any indication, this line of cu will slowly slip south and east…with strong convection firing in its vicinity east of the CWA later this evening.
