Gap Winds
Terrain interacts with the atmosphere in many ways to alter the weather. If winds push through the terrain in spots, rather than going over it, another set of wind phenomena arises, the gap winds.

For those who love weather in all its varied forms, extreme or rare weather events often hold great allure. Spawned by our love of statistics, one extreme event that catches our attention is the breaking of daily temperature records. Whether a record hot day or record cold day, it is sure make local news headlines. If today's weather set a record for either maximum or minimum temperature, you would likely respond with a modicum of interest.
