Episode notes
Air has sideways motion to the center of a low pressure system, it never actually reaches the center. By the way, air circulates the opposite way for high pressure centers. But since high pressure systems repel clouds, no one thinks of them as a storm but it's essentially a high pressure storm. Have you ever been completely cloudless days and was very windy? That's what you're experiencing. You're experiencing air escaping away from the high pressure system, gaining speed relative to you on the rotating earth.
