Weather events over the central third of the United States during the first week of August 1970 provide an excellent example of an upper level summer continental warm anticyclone accompanied by well-defined moist tongues. This type of situation, in which significant amounts of convective precipitation can occur with anticyclonic northwesterly flow aloft, was discovered originally with the help of isentropic analysis and described by Namias (1938) and Wexler and Namias (1938). Since the advent of weather satellites, many cases of the cyclonic cloud vortex have been illustrated in the literature, but to our knowledge, none of the large-scale anticyclonic As shown by Stark (1970, fig. 7), a narrow band of precipitation in southern Texas was associated with the passage of hurricane Celia in early August, and a broader band of quite heavy convective activity extended from southern Minnesota to the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. eddy.
