Well, it finally happened....

I Thought I would try to roll my own lounge here, hope no one minds. I am a huge weather junkie and weather happens all over the place, so why not have a place here to share your close encounters of the Atmospheric kind?

If you got weather happening in your area, post it! Talk about it! Photograph it! :D

Example:

Not quite in my area, but it could effect me.
 
Good luck AJ, hope you find some peeps that share your interest/passion.

My simple but humble contribution: Here in the Midlands UK its raining. That's about as much as I know.
 
Here in South Central Florida, partly cloudy 85 degrees light winds, no rain for the next 5 days so they say. The nights are around 68-74 degrees.
 
Lol i love how everyone is just posting little short things about the weather in there area...

I was always fascinated with storms when i grew up and often found myself sitting outside with the old man watching a thunderstorm roll by :)

I know Cincinnati right now its pretty cool, around 60 degrees, however, with cincinnati weather who knows it could be like 32 degrees in a couple minutes or 87 degrees... give or take ;)
 
Storms are awesome. I love them.

You'll find me sitting outside in the rainstorms, usually, with my phone on the couch so I don't ruin it. XD

Oh and today, the weather is partly cloudy, with a temperature of about 65 right now.
 
Another lounge? This area is like the gaslamp quarter in San Diego. =) I love it.

I can go lounge hopping here if I want to and not get drunk. :D

Anyways, Cali weather has been really weird. It was like a 100+ degrees like a week and half ago. Now it's cloudy and it might rain.
 
Well, it looks like the 3 months of awesome dry and sunny weather we've been having in Metro Vancouver is coming to an end.
 
Where did that chart come from? I just found an app that will connect to the Weather Underground standard page. That does give the frontal movement and the jet stream.
Quick Weather.
 
Supposed to have a mild El Nino.

Got rain between Pueblo West and the Springs. Just had another shower.

I like clouds - but enough is enough. Warm last night, took the binos out as I saw a few clouds. Just started enjoying the ET cluster in Cassiopeia, when the whole sky got covered.
 
The weather here in Oz varies drastically from day to day. The one constant is we have some serious wind here.. from one direction or another... from hour to hour. I love to garden so I'm very weather conscious. This year like last was absolutely brutal on the plants. I got way hot and stayed way hot for too long for most veggies to produce. Last year we had over thirty days in a row over 100f and this year twenty some. No rain... just way hot and dry. The latest catastrophe was a month early frost. Out of now where the temps dropped and it dipped down to freezing two nights in a row. I was hoping my sweet potatoes might escape without harm but today I see the leaves are turning... they are done. A full month or more early is not a good thing for any harvest.

I'm a weatherbug user and have used it for years now. I like the app enough to be using the pro version. Recently they added an interesting feature (don't know if it's a pro only deal) It will now show you how close the lightening is striking to your location. It gets pretty exciting when you see the .2 miles from your location warning lol. I enjoy their radar as well as their sever weather alerts. I get in a zone when I'm working and it's helpful when it breaks into my BT tunes to tell me I'm in a tornado warning... not that we concern ourselves with such here in Oz. :eek:

Click to expand...

That feature seems way awesome! Might go pro!

AJ...pass the suntan lotion would ya. :thumb:
 
We got no rain in the Springs. Just the wind. That's what makes weather here so interesting.

Rampart Range - just enough to change the weather in 50 miles.

Path of Albuquerque low gives who will get zapped.

Nobody can really predict who will get dumped on. We've had 3 feet of snow in the driveway, and 1/2 mile away in all directions - no snow cover at all. Same for heavy rain. With the radar, you can see where the heaviest is going.
