Outflow from a Nocturnal Thunderstorm.

Abstract

An investigation of a dry nocturnal gust front moving over a dense network of meteorological instruments in east central Illinois is presented. The outflow was generated out of an eastward moving, organized storm system passing north of the network. Although no precipitation was measured in the network, a change from ambient to outflow air was observed in other meteorological parameters more than 100 km south of the point at which the outflow is estimated to have initiated.
