It pisses me off also when people use weather.com. Whenever I see people using it, I always tell them to try weather.gov (same as the NOAA national weather site) and they never go back to weather.com. Displayed are all watches and warnings for the country and I am fascinated by tornado warnings and severe t-storm warnings. Another favorite winter warning is heavy freezing spray warning usually affecting coastal Alaska. For radar, I also use duats.

I've also been interested in the weather also lately.
I usually check the National Hurricane Center's website & Weather.gov every day. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ / http://www.weather.gov

Speaking of convection, we just bought a Convection Toaster Oven. I highly recommend it. Heats up food much quicker and reduced our stove use dramatically in the summer.
Trivia.....anyone remember Storm Field, meteorologist? And his father Dr Frank Field, also a meteorologist? His dad was originally an optometrist.
Good thread. I used weather.com since I really knew no other options. I'll now be using NOAA.org. Thanks!
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

I grew up watching Dr Frank Field! We always watched the Ch 4 local news, and he was on there forever! I think he was one of the first to do health and science reports on the local news as well.

Long Island NEws 12's Bill Korbel is the guy that taught me about weather in dispatch school at Flight Safety. Good guy.

Sorry guys , I go back even further-- Tex Antoine and Uncle Wethbee on Channel 7.or how about that crazy dude that was on channel 9 Lloyd Lindsey Young. Been following weather for a long time and known as the weather guru here at work. I dont even use weather.com any more and Im beginning to hate the weather channel but thats another thread. I like wx underground, and on my verizon phone,Weather bug ,imap weather for radar ,and also refrence aviation weather for easy to read term forcasts.
"You above all"
This is crazy!

Despite the relative calm up until now, AccuWeather thinks the tropics are going to go nuts in late August-September: http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/new...onnectio-1.asp
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Weather, I thought most here only used weather to shoot or not to shoot. I have obsessively been into weather since college. And was/am an avid a Storm Chaser- especially when I was living in the Midwest/ Plains area. I also took several meteorology classes- Forecasting - witch I sucked at. I also took some storm structure classes at The College of Dupage in the Chicago Area and had Storm Chased with Several Storm Chasers at that college. I do have extensive knowledge about storm structure and development thought my classes and field experience. I have my personal site with links to Weather Data sites for several years now and I do use the site for my Storm Chasing but also for Flying and also Aviation Photography. I keep it simple so I can access anywhere. Weather is also one of my hobbies. I have many shots I'll post some when I can get a hold of them.
I had this Disk Handy,

As Phil does I am a big Convection Person since I do live in the Convection Capital of the USA. There are many other factors that make up a convective prediction such as SKEW T'S, Lifted Index,Helicity,Hodographs,Wind profiles in all levels of the atmosphere and Temperatures at the 500 MB level.
SKEW T'S, Lifted Index,Helicity,Hodographs,Wind profiles. All of that brings back memories.
SP has a nice one that I like.
They Incorporated all of them into one place. It works for me.

it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
That's a nice one. Those single cells are really easy to chase.
