Fog Bank, June 10, 2013


First up,
Earth Science Picture of the Day for May 29 had photos of lightning at the Eiffel tower

Second, The Capital Weather Gang had an article with great photos of super cells in the plains

My third pick is  discussion of the 'without warning' kerfuffle from Sean Sublette, of WSET-TV in Roanoke, VA

Fourth Chuck Prevatte sent a link to a Fox Business interview with Michael Eilts of Weather Decision Technologies, in which the iPhone weather radio app was mentioned.

I want to know when the Android version will be released?
(Harold Brooks sent me a post; the Android version IS out.  You can find it at the Google Play store. What you cannot find is a link or comment imapweather.com to the Android version.)
Chuck also sent me a comment about Nate's Digital Meteorologist post.  He said I have never storm chased, but at least after 24 years as a tanker, I know to get out of the way of the enemy.

I'll close with an image from the NASA image of the day.   A false color infrared photo of central Oklahoma, showing the track of the Newcastle-Moore tornado

Thanks for listening, Skydaver out.
