    Hello everyone. In addition to the standard weather.gov website and associated NHC products, a great source of severe weather information is the Severe Storms Prediction Center site, an offshot of weather.gov. You can access it by clicking the "severe weather" link on the main weather.gov page, or via this: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/

    I use that site at work to plan out how crazy our day is going to be. The single most useful section is the Convective Outlook Page which has a great deal of very detailed information regarding the potential of severe weather in general and, specifically, Tornadoes, Hail, and High wind. Enjoy the link..

    I used to track the hurricanes. The last one I tracked was actually Katrina. I actually didnt go to sleep untill after it made landfall at 4 in the morning. I was actually able to predict where these went better then the actual specalists. I havent been doing much as of late but am still interested in the subject. Phil thats actually the front that was supposed to push earl away. Looks like it stalled out and developed. Rats!

    Is that the cold front thats going to cool us down? I love watching cold fronts on the radar as they come in usually after a particularly hot spell and filled with nasty, violent thunderstorms. Many times these T cells break down as they come through NJ and the city but lots of time they sneak through. I actually enjoy watching NEws12 Traffic and Weather and their radar. Most time its 10/15 minutes behind real time but still cool.

    Well August has come and gone .
    Actually there were two more systems behind this but I think they have fizzled out.

    News 12's Bill Korbel is quite an aviation enthusiast himself. He was my weather instructor when I got my dispatch license...very cool guy. His facebook page is a good one to follow for weather conversation as well.

    Long Beach got quite the light show from that storm and it lasted over an hour.

    Rain moving in and winds picking up. Watching the Yanks-Bosox on ESPN and the announcers said that the Met Life blimp had to call it a night and head back in. Already raining out here
    in Eastern Nassau and I heard a pilot on FRG tell Tower ceiling was only 1500 ft. Anyone know where the blimp was bunking?
