EUMeTrain: Mini Case Study on reversed Barrage Cloudiness in Italy

Synoptic situation

The WV 6.2 image shows very clearly the westerly upper level flow. Apparently two upper level jet branches are located near Italy; the northern one is located across the northern part of the country and has rather well-defined jet fibre cloudiness.
The southern jet is located over the central-souther part of Italy and oriented in west-east direction.
