Current snapshot of Atlantic rain rates (shaded), Kelvin filtered 200 hPa Velocity Potential anomalies (contours) and 200 hPa wind anomalies (vectors)
Kelvin Filtered 200 hPa VP anomalies begin at 0.5 STD; contour interval is 0.5 STD.
Negative (Positive) Kelvin filtered 200 hPa VP anomalies are cold (warm) colored contours, representing upper-level divergence (convergence).
