Our mail bag has been getting some attention and Kevin details some of the responses. Included were responses that set the difference between Buffalo Rock and Rolling Rock. More forecasts came in including one from the northern US that was hard to comprehend. Plus in two weeks is the TESSA severe weather conference.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: We often hear about CAPE and other positive parameters that of interest when trying to diagnose severe weather. But there are some weather elements which go against the production of severe weather. This week the professor takes a look at one of those called CINH which sounds like sin but isn’t.
TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of March 3rd which featured some forecasts that went awry including one for an inauguration.
