MESO's MM5 Real Time Forecast Vertical Cross-Sections

Vertical cross-sections from the coarse and nested grid runs are shown in the 2 tables below. The cross-section locations are linked in the first column. The wind speeds and barbs are horizontal wind speeds and barbs. The speed is the total horizontal wind speed at that point (not the speed of the wind tangential to the cross-section). The barbs show the horizontal wind direction, not the wind direction in the plane of the cross-section. Thus, a barb that points from lower left to upper right indicates a SW wind, *not* an upward vertical motion.
