  13. Madison – Lessons Learned • Gradient forecasting typically goes toward less action than more –especially if the gradient has already been set-up. • Mesoscale forces can trump synoptic scale motions along a gradient. • An increasing pressure gradient aligned with a large lake will induce lower pressure over the lake and cause an isallobaric component of the wind toward the lake (dry advection for MSN)

  14. Final Standings – Contest 2
