In this video the presenter says that the air was being changed between the 2 systems, so that the 2nd system would be held at bay for a while so that it wouldn’t just blend in with the current system. With it held at bay it could be timed to move forward when it would present the biggest opportunity for very damaging storms.
And you could see on the radar that anytime the weather system seemed to move east it hit something like a wall and dissipated there. It was like the whole system in the west was in a holding pattern.
What do you say causes that?
The pure size and energy represented by the fronts are magnitudes of orders more than a radar(s) can influence. To think a radar did the manipulation is ludicrous. We’d be talking tremendous power-aperture products here over large areas.
