weird weather in the lou

this is the current local stl radar, per weather underground.

the regional radar is seeing wisps of things pushed ahead by the tropical storm that hit the carolinas yesterday. so... we were expecting rain... but am I the only person who thinks this is just strange? like, the universe and the weather are taking it out on the lou as if we were the pigpen to the national peanuts comic of the day?

the really funny thing is that I checked the sky outside after I published this the first time... and it's clear. so is the radar check on weather.com... so either this is really high level moisture, or weather underground is playing a joke.... on me... who's just bored enough to notice it.

It's from the level of saturation they chose to display with that image. It's an annoying habit of meteorologists to play with that function to alter the hype that they've misrepresented in the media.

It drives me nuts. Also, the level of moisture on any given day is never as level as it is in that image, which is usually a dead give away for saturation issues. That, or the sky is falling, just really far above our heads.

Nice to read your words again, kiddo.
