A NEAT VIEW OF PERSISTENT OMEGA BLOCK IN PLACE OVER THE U.S. (credit: @Expert_Wx)

DISCUSSION: The weather across the United States continues to be impacted by a strengthening omega block over the Central and Eastern U.S.  As seen in the short visible satellite imagery loop below, you can identify the center of the blocking high by the large cloud-free region over the aforementioned parts of the Central and Eastern United States.  Click the loop below to see the full-effect of this blocking high on the synoptic weather pattern across the Central and Eastern United States.  Also, note the low-pressure systems positioned respectively to the west and east of the blocking high-pressure system! 

It is awesome to see how the atmosphere organizes itself! #OmegaBlock #MayaExpress pic.twitter.com/dpiddHsNlc
