High and Low Pressure at the Same Time? - HUH?

video

I often stress that you cannot really understand weather unless you look at it in 3 dimensions. (You can even understand it more if you use 4 dimensions and include change over time.).  So tonight and tomorrow high pressure is moving into the tristate on the weather map but we are staying cloudy.

It is easy to explain if you look at the atmosphere in 3d there is high pressure near the surface and low pressure aloft.

The video explains it.
