A lot of the turbulence is east of that 'front' which runs from east of New Mexico to West of Lake Superior then on into Canada, has it's most intense activity slightly above or below 36-37 North Latitude. That larger front is an issue because right behind it and currently pushing it along is a huge vortex that has been crossing the Northern Pacific. My concern is that any upper air disturbance can manifest quickly into a very dangerous vorticity in that 'eastern air mass.'
