But I can't see into the future, so I don't know that the parcel of air will become convective activity.

I had a rock that I carried in my rucksack. It was called the Weather Rock. If it was dry, it wasn't raining. If it was wet, it was raining.

That rock never lied to me. So Spider doesn't know what the shit he's talking about.

ok spider you lost, thought more now than humans doing the forcasting there are super computers that get infor about Tem's wind humidity ect form all over the place and put it together to make a forecast, if they make a general forcast it's nearly alway's right, but any thing specific it gets to be iffy. So many things effect the weather it is a very interestion phenominon, so many googleplex millions of atoms all somehow forming into an Organized chaos, it fucking insane how complicated it is.

Chaos therory is so interesting.

Friday or Saturday. There is always a chance of it diverting, a prime example is Hurricane Charlie.

cumulonimbus is one word, but other than that, i fully support squeeky here.

if you're going to insult me like that, you damn well better be able to back it up better than 'some guy on tv said it was gonna be sunny on friday but it wasnt so you're all idiots.'

He's hot when he's pissed

[Firefly]

He sure is. I'm so wet.

Hey does that mean it's raining?

[JetRaiden]

[martyr]

not necessarily. it could just mean you're colder than the dewpoint temperature.

that seems to be your MO

[Triggar]

Time to get out the sling psychrometer.

GOOD NEWS (for Central-South Floridians):

The hurricane is "expected" to landfall more to the north, along the GA/FL state line. No reason is really given for that, and it could be wrong, as witnessed with Charley.

BAD NEWS: It's the size of fucking Florida itself. Everybody's getting hit.
