A small lenticular wave cloud, indicating a small wavelet, despite the SSW upper airflow on 2006.11.29 at W99. This cloud is estimated to be directly to the W or NW of Hopewell Gap at 7000 to 10000 feet MSL.
Usually the best conditions for wave at Petersburg require high-speed NW winds from 850mb to 300mb (5000' to 30,000' MSL), but this photo demonstrates that smaller wavelets can form even when the winds are from the SSW.
