Temperature in each area will correlate opposite to the correlation of precipitation.  So if the precipitation correlation is negative then temperature will be relatively warm when BT is high and cool when BT is low. *Note that this is a work in progress.  Each location is a piece of the weather motion puzzle.  As more data and locations are accumulated, the lag times and correlations will probably be adjusted in order to fit the whole.  There are certainly border zones which may fit two correlation modes at times.  Those will be discovered as I progress in accumulating data points.  The work will proceed from location to location to see where each one fits.  By working from one point out it's easier to discover the weather movements and where each location fits.  It will be a painstaking undertaking but I believe well worth it.  It will be of great benefit to all to ascertain each locations "key" correlation to BT.
