Strange Weather Systems

[DarkHorse2]

Seeing some strange Weather Systems, where fronts are appearing to pass through each other or simply materialize in questionable locations.

Consider the following:

Is this even possible?

After suffering five turns of light mud in the opening two months of GC41... and digging into this a bit, inclined to believe that the WiTE2 terminology used here is off.

I could be wrong not being a meteorologist, but am thinking that what WiTE2 calls an "Air Front" is actually an "Air Mass".

As I understand it, an Air Front is the edge of an Air Mass, especially where two Air Masses meet.

Yeah, feeling more certain these are Air Masses.

Naming convention for air masses: A small letter (c,
m) indicates the moist content followed by a capital
letter (T, P, A) to represent temperature.

So basically we have:

cT = dry warm
cP = dry cold
cA = dry very cold
mT = wet warm
mP = wet cold
mA = wet very cold (however type does not really exist and is not used)

Also think some creative liberties were taken with Air Masses passing through each other....
