There was a huge house fire right up the street from where I live this past Friday. I went outside to see if I could see the fire, but I couldn't see anything but thick smoke hazing up the sky. At first I thought it was a Brush fire which made me a little nervous. I didn't realize just how close the house fire was until I heard helicopters flying overhead and it was breaking news on one of our local news channels here. Luckily in that case no one was at home from what I heard.

Mac, be aware that you posted an image that could auto-update so if you want it to stay the way it is now I would suggest uploading it to imgur, tinypic, or any others :thumbsup:

Thanks for the note Zach, but this image will remain the same until the end of the world in December. :P

This is very strange. There's a lot of feedback off the radar in New Jersey and in NYC. I checked some observations in the area, there's nothing. I wonder what could be causing this.

It's just ground clutter due to all the low-level moisture.  You can always tell across the country where there's a lot of moisture and where there's not as the radar is sensitive to it.

I've never taken a physics class before, or anything similar, but I think I finally understand the Barotropic Vorticity Equation. Took me about an hour of writing out on paper what all the terms mean and what they stand for. Yep, this is what I do in my free time. :noexpression: Nothing wrong with that right?  :dunno:

Craig, I think you're trying to get ahead of yourself way too much. :P  I didn't learn that equation until junior year in college in a 400-level Meteorology course.  You need Calculus, Physics, and a basic understanding of the atmosphere to even understand that equation and all the assumptions built into it.

Believe me, that equation will not be taught to you in a regular or honors Physics course :no: I'm currently a student of Physics now and we haven't touched it, but it may be in an AP Physics course (not sure on that though)

Zach, there's no way that equation is covered in Physics whether it's AP or not.  It's a concept that can only be found in advanced Meteorology classes during college. ;)

Yeah guys, trust me.  I am majoring in meteorology and haven't even been introduced to that equation yet.  I mean, I guess it's never a bad thing to get introduced to it too early, but that's being a little too ambitious if you ask me. :ermm:
