<DIV><SPAN class=292162803-05042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I noticed a major
jump down in temperature, and up in dew point this afternoon. I looked at
the radar, and saw something I'd seen before, but didn't know what it was. A
call to KILM told me it's a phenomenon known as seabreeze. The meteorologist was
surprised I was able to track the temp. drop / dewpoint spike so quickly
(I'm using a fan ventilated tube.Of course, I fail QC for that interval 'cause
no-one else tracked the 10 degree change so rapidly. What we're talking about is
the thin red line bowing to the Northwest. They had the radar in clear air mode
with the gain cranked at the time. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=292162803-05042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>My location is a
little to the West of the + sign for Wilmington. This crossed my area at
about 18:40 local / 22:40 utc. Wind jumped to the south. Barometer unaffected.

<DIV><SPAN class=292162803-05042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>More useless
trivia... In case you've not noticed it on Radar before, the spike heading off
to the west is RF noise from the sun setting. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
