Fog Bank, August 12, 2013

Welcome to the Fog Bank, everyone. Please follow me on Twitter, @skydaver.

First up,Jason Samenow of the Capital Weather Gang rips AccuWeather to shreds about their 45 day so-called 'forecast'
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/wp/2013/08/06/accuweather-you-cannot-be-serious-new-45-day-forecasts/

I had the Accuweather app on my phone, and when it gave current conditions that were totally inaccurate, I removed it.
If they can't get current conditions correct, how can they do 45 days?

Second,
SpaceWeather.com had an article about Red Sprites, a very high altitude electrical storms

Third, The WeatherNation Facebook page had a picture of thunderstorms taken from the International Space Station

The next pic came from Karen Nyberg, currently a resident aboard the international space station. She put a picture on Twitter of an clound formation she liked.

Never tire of finding shapes in the clouds! These look very botanical to me. Simply perfect. July 26. pic.twitter.com/57v8LQG0Rk

I'll close with a picture from the MODIS satellite of cloud streets over the Bering Sea.
