Yesterday I noted a movement of the northern ICZ to a radically north displacement while the southern ICZ joined with Mediterranean Sea water vapor to cause sincere danger in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Below is the movement north of the water vapor, eleven hours ago. The northern ICZ is repopulating it's water vapor after being robbed of so much yesterday.
The infrared image at the top of this entry is the infrared satellite as it exists right now. Easily noted is the movement now of the water vapor on a northeast track into the air mass decending from the Arctic.

Widespread (click here) severe weather is likely this afternoon and evening in Lower Michigan. There is even a high chance of tornadoes, some of which could be strong with long lasting tracks. Along with isolated tornadoes, more widespread damaging winds are likely....

This is the front that formed from that ICZ water vapor movement. The turbulence is fueled by the very PROPERTIES of water vapor. Why did this happen? Because we know that Earth's physics seek to resolve heat imbalance throughout it's troposphere. It is physics, it can't be changed and if it were this would no longer be Earth. Did the occurrence in Saudi Arabia and this movement of the northern ICZ have a relationship, I am confident they did.
Earth is on a path to a homogenous troposphere. It will continue to resolve it's heat imbalance through very powerful planetary forces. Those forces must be fueled by the very existence of water vapor and Earth will seek to find that water vapor anywhere in order to resolve that imbalance in the troposphere. That is the danger of the Climate Crisis and high levels of Greenhouse Gases. Earth will find a homostatic balance and the physics takes no prisoners.
What happened in Saudi Arabia?To the right are the anticipated highs in Saudi Arabia today. Immediately below are anticipated lows.

The accumulated temperature picture is not yet complete for November, but, below is the average highs and lows from October.
What occurred to Riyadh yesterday was movement of Arctic air to a tropical environment. It obviously is a rarity in this region of the world. But, Earth demands it's satisfaction and it will have it.
To the left is The Weather Channel satellite of Africa-Europe. Noted is the southern ICZ crossing the Atlantic Ocean from South America, rising along the eastern African border crossing in the same place as yesterday and dipping to cross southern Egypt to Saudi Arabia. The current movement is somewhat static, so the Saudis need to keep warn and dry.

Saudi Arabia's skies usually are cloudy 10% of the time during the year.
