I love the weather and have always been interested in it. To me, the creation of incredible storms and the patterns of heat, wind, fronts, and pressure systems in absolutely incredible, especially since many of these things still baffle humans!

I want to know: does anybody share my interest? Any other weather buffs out there? Or, some interesting story or fact about the weather?

Please, share it here!

Here the weather is the same as yesterday again:
Clear skies (>5% cloud) and 80F today. Nice compared to other parts of the country, but still warm and dry.

There were some storms in the far north with heavy rain, some hail, and strong spining winds (maybe tornadoes but im not certain), but nothing here.

Hahaha yeah, I've slipped too! I just love not having to recover my breath much after running a lot. The rain provides an instant cool-off and feels great during the process.

And you don't feel that cold since you run around a lot more.

It was getting colder a bit and partly cloudy. Not much.

Here there were some showers afoot earlier, but they all missed here. Now it's partly cloudy and in the low 70's. Some isolated storms are forecasted, but not much.

Tropical Storm Harvey now has winds estimated at 60mph. He is expected to gain strength to just below hurricane status (hurricane = 74mph, Harvey forecast = 70mph) and make landfall on the eastern coast of Belize later today. I hope all those people stay safe, even if he is just a tropical storm.

70 degrees, sunny, and some wind.

Oh, duh, you've told me that. :P I'm so silly sometimes.
Just rain, it stopped about half an hour ago though, we'll probably get a thunder storm tomorrow.

The storms went south of here and north of here yesterday. As you can imagine, I am quite piqued about that. >:O
Oh and btw, snow is third on my list. :P

You are a wise person. Very, very wise. For me, I can't really say what I favor the most, I just know that I don't like cloudy or sunny. If it's cloudy, it better rain, snow, sleet, etc.

Yeah, you may get some more today. The front passed through here yesterday. Logic tells me it will hit you next, unless it went south.
And you don't feel that cold since you run around a lot more.

Definitely.

Sounds nice and calm. Are your highs going down steadily yet?

I just remembered that I should post an image of Harvey for everyone to see.
Here he is now:

And here's his forecasted path:

We have that annoying weather at the minute, when the sun shines and you plan your day around it, then the storm clouds roll in, threatening to rain but simply just block up the sun.

Here says there's a storm growing right over me. It's only a 40% chance of rain tho.

Some storm-esque clouds here, but no storms. They stayed south today. And some went north, I guess.

Also, Tropical Storm Irene has formed! Image property of The Weather Channel.

I hate when that happens! Actually, I just hate the part where storm clouds come and it doesn't rain. :P

At the beach sounds nice! Especially on a hot day. :P

You sure that's not radar fuzz? It tends to happen at the center of the radar image due to buildings, etc. intercepting the radar beam while it is still low. D:

Holy macaroni! That Harvey storm is a weather monster!

Weather Forecast: Cold temperatures near 10C and an Icy wind that's almost freezing!

I have a heater that's now on the 2 intensity, the max I've ever used.

Yeah that was probably fuzz. Here says no rain for me, even though they say possible light showers overnight on the same site.

In the morning, it was pretty windy and cold-ish, but clear skies.

Later on, it got warmer, the winds were calm. clear skies, about 70 degrees.

Here's Irene now. She's really getting organized and is strengthening rapidly. I wouldn't be surprised if she became a hurricane early tomorrow.

Harvey has weakened significantly from before. He is now expected to become a depression overnight, then lose most if not all of his tropical characteristics tomorrow.

10 C is 50 F... That's not awful, is it? What's the wind chill?

Lucky. Just some isolated storms possible here tomorrow, and we probably won't get anything at all.

Sounds like a pretty nice day!

Ugh. It's supposed to get into the 90's next week, and I have soccer. -_- I don't want the heat to return! D: Anyways, it's mostly cloudy now and very cool. Yesterday, after the front came through, it felt incredible outside. The air was cool and fresh but not cold, and the sun was warm but not hot.

Cool! The temps seem pretty centered around the 90's there. It was like that here (in Iowa), but now it has cooled down a bit.
