Damn those are some nice little cells. We already had our thunderstorm this year, even got a flash of lightning out of it. All quiet on the (North) Western front at 4pm PDT I have sunny, 68F DP 32 wind WNW 6 MPH. Appears to be excellent beer weather, I'm headed out to check.
Not bad today with partly cloudy skies and a high in the low 80s and dewpoints in the 50s. Low this morning was a comfortable 56 F/13 C. Repeat tonight...a little warmer tomorrow with a forecast high of 85 F/29 C. I guess the tropical storm will bring some juicy conditions to the area on Friday?

Two reasons, one because I think it looks cooler, and two, I think it makes it easier for the American posters who don't necessarily understand Celsius (I am obviously American, but know both in my head)

I think most of the regular American posters are familiar enough with celsius. I find it difficult to read the white or pink fonts. I have to highlight them in order to read it.
For Friday and Saturday...Our region could be between systems to
start Friday, with one amplifying some across the Great Lakes and
another in the form of a ridge over the Southeast Coast. There is
also the potential for enhanced moisture from the remnants of
current Tropical Storm Cindy as it lifts north and eastward from the
Lower Mississippi Valley. An incoming cold front may help pull some
of the tropical moisture into at least parts of our area. This could
enhance the convection late Friday and especially Saturday. As a
warm sector continues to expand northward Friday, an area of
stronger ascent may clip our northern areas Friday afternoon and
evening. Height falls mainly centered to our north associated with
an approaching mid level trough and pre-frontal trough should assist
in convective development. The strongest part of this at this time
appears to be just to our north, which is where the severe
thunderstorm risk is centered. Another area to watch is convection
in the upper Ohio Valley, which some guidance suggests reaches our
area early Friday with some renewed development later in the day for
the southern half of the area. If cloud cover is less, sufficient
heating/instability combined with strong enough flow could result in
some gusty thunderstorms

I can read them, due to the grey rather than white background
I haven't had anything that exciting yet. So far 0.22" of rain and some mildly gusting wind at times. The main event will probably start overnight I guess and last thru the day tomorrow. I'm not really expecting anything too intense as the tropical storm warning was cancelled for inland areas.
The pathetic amount of blue we get during "cool snaps" in summer never ceases to amaze me. Thanks Atlantic. Meanwhile the midwest gets to be actually cooler than average for more than a few days.
