Indications of wavelets over W99, despite the SSW flow, on 2006.11.29. The cloudbase is estimated to be 7000 to 10000 feet MSL and the cloud features, especially in the highlighted area, are indicative of wavelets formed by the high-speed airmass flowing from the SSW over the Allegheny Plateau and Ridges.
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.
Photos taken at 11:10 a.m. GMT-5 / EST on 2006.11.29 from WV State Route 42 a few miles North of Petersburg. The mid-point faces roughly south west.
See the potential wavelet indicating cloud(s) in the middle right-hand of the panorama detailed in the following photos: 1 and 2.
