The water remains cool, where high pressure develops. The resulting wind flow from high t o low pressure creates the lake breeze. Similar to a sea breeze. The opposite of a sea or lake breeze. At nighttime the land cools faster than the water.
High pressure develops over the cooler land and low pressure develops over the warmer water.
As the air flows from high to low pressure, the land breeze commences. The rate at which a variable in the atmosphere, usually temperature decreases with height. A parcel of dry air will lose temperature at the rate of 5.5oF for every 1000 feet of ascent. The amount of heat that is lost or gained when a substance undergoes a phase change, such as condensation, evaporation or sublimation. A cyclonically rotating column of air inside a thunderstorm that may lead to a tornado.
