I've never really understood those maps. Are the #'s millibars? And does anyone know how the hell they read that, especially for a storm. How do you stick a balloon up in the center of something and keep it there? Very interesting stuff.
Jeff, maybe you could do a quick tutorial on how to read that stuff, i am sure there are a few of us that would love to know more.

I actually did get a weather for dummies book but it is too simple. I just think it would be cool to take a glance at that chart and really understand what is going to happen from it!
I guess I will remain a forecastee and not a forecaster.

I recommend "Weather Predicting Simplified" Author - Michael William Carr
It is orientated for marine weather too.

The blog is great! When do you manage to do this? yeah, basically committing to word what we are all thinking when we scan for weather. Thanks for putting it up!

And thanks for the RSS feed. This is a terrific service (free no less), should become part of the Bay Area canon for monitoring conditions.
