This is getting ridiculous... Hopefully the Christmas playlist will have the traditional TWC songs.

My favorite Halloween candy is Butterfinger, Milky Way, and of course, Candy Corn!With Halloween less than two weeks away, I'm curious how much any of you got involved in this holiday during your childhoods. Also, what was your favorite candy or treat to eat?
I was just the average trick-or-treating child back in the day, dressing up in costumes and hoping I'd get some good candy. I liked all candies but my personal favorite are Snickers bars, which they still are today now that I'm in my mid-20s

Does anyone know if Warren Madden and Ryan Goswick still freelance at TWC? And if so, how long has it been since they've been on air?

Adam Berg is leaving TWC. Here is the comment from Kelly Cass's Facebook page:
Working this Thursday night with Adam Berg on his last night with us at TWC. I will soo miss working with Adam, especially his wonderful sense of humor!
So long, Adam! It was great watching you on PM Edition/evening live weather.

Another classic OCM leaves...
I wish him the very best as he (likely) searches for a better job in meteorology.

Hey Patrick, I have a couple questions about microbursts.
Does higher 0-6km speed shear (or any strong winds in the atmosphere for that matter) tend to be bad for strong microburst formation? I know that stronger winds in the mid-levels helps the storm to move faster, and I believe that shear, combined with potentially greater instability, forms stronger cells that stay "alive" a long time and don't die quick enough to produce a vigorous downdraft, but could produce otherwise straight-line winds during its mature stage.
Also, is it better to have only a smaller amount of positive CAPE for microburst formation? I know that there has to be at least some positive buoyancy and limted (or no) negative buoyancy above the LCL for convection of any nature to form. But if there's too much CAPE, can the storm strengthen and sustain life for a longer period of time, and it may not die quick enough for rapid acceleration of rain cooled air toward the ground? However, I guess it would be hard for large CAPE to be present with a lot of dry air/negative buoyancy below the LCL aka DCAPE, unless mid level lapse rates are near dry adiabatic.
Sorry if I went a little too overboard.

We had a thunderstorm with small hail here about noon. Temperatures managed to reach 59, but fell into the 40's after the storm, and it's been struggling to get out of the 40's since! Autumn is here!
