Telling them that the yellows and oranges on the map out in the
atlantic represented a high theta-W air mass. Now would you hear that
sort of thing from Kirkwood or would it be all about rain being
ensconced yet again.

Having introduced the term, did he go on to explain what a high theta-W
airmass was? If not, then it sounds a bit as if he might have been
showing off. Yes, he knows his stuff, but there's no point in mentioning
something that will mystify 99% of those watching if you don't explain
it.

So what is an high theta w?
Did he mean a Blocking High?
