1.   A hurricane is a storm of strong circular wind flow which rotates in a counter-clockwise direction.

2.   As a result, weather systems that are normally guided toward the east on speedy jet stream winds have stalled in the sluggish wind flow.

3.   A disturbance rippling through the fast high-level wind flow will help to form low pressure near the Southeast Coast.

4.   A large but weak disturbance in Texas will induce a strong low-level wind flow from the southeast.

5.   A great northward bulge in the high-level wind flow is causing the unusual heat.

6.   A warmer and a bit drier wind flow across the Northeast will be accompanied by partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies and near seasonal readings.

7.   Humidity will begin to rise across the Tennessee Valley as a wind flow from the south increases.

8.   In addition, a wind flow from the south will draw this abundant moisture north into the Ohio Valley.

9.   Instead, Lenny was aided by this wind flow and strengthened further as it moved east through the northern Leeward Islands.
