Fog Bank, September 23, 2013


Hello Weather Brains listeners, this is Dave Phillips, skydaver on Twitter, back from a long vacation to the Pacific Northwest, where we enjoyed sunny days for 10 of the 13 days we were there!

My first pick is the WeatherBug smartphone app.  It has a good looking interface and is easy to navigate.  I can't speak to its accuracy yet, but it certainly hasn't caused me to remove it from my phone.  The AccuWeather app is still on my phone, too.
Still waiting on WeatherMob for Android.

Second, I have a press release from NSSL about one of their technology teams

My third pick coms from Astronomy Picture of the Day, with a photo of a roll cloud in Wisconsin, taken 2007

Matt S, @wxboy, sent a link to a nice YouTube video.  It's a slideshow of supercell thunderstorm photos

Astronomy Picture of the Day has a nice picture of an annalemma. I won't explain what that is, you'll have to look at the photo, and figure it out.

Thanks for listening, Skydaver out.
