1. Often, snow transitions to rain in the warm sector behind the front. 2. Several tornadoes were reported in the warm sector stretching from Virginia south to Florida. 3. Convection had gradually increased in the warm sector throughout the supercell's life cycle. 4. Tornadoes form in the warm sector of extratropical cyclones where a strong upper level jet stream exists. 5. Stratus or stratocumulus ( comprising the warm sector of a frontal system ) usually forms when it clears. 6. The degree of wind shear, moisture and instability within the warm sector favored the development of supercells. 7. The degree of wind shear, moisture and instability within the warm sector favored the development of discrete supercells. 8. Other storms in the warm sector , removed from the Tri-State supercell, were initiating around 3 pm. 9. Strong thunderstorms were now scattered throughout the warm sector and a line of severe thunderstorms was occurring near the dryline. 10. The convection then moves east and toward the equator into the warm sector , parallel to low-level thickness lines.
