I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
You could make that argument, Pamela. The amount of moisture in the air can be a function of the direction of the wind and a moisture source. Where I live, in Texas, for example, a southeast wind will bring moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and make it feel more humid. Thanks!

For weather the primary tools are satellites, radar and computer forecast models that use weather balloon data and many types of other sensors.

Yup! Not too crazy. The rain has to start and stop someplace, why not over your house?! Thanks!

Great question, Judith. I must say I'm not really familiar with SF climatology. In general air pressure changes with the movement of weather systems so a short move might not have a big effect. But local topography could come into play. I'll suggest your local National Weather Service office would find your question interesting. Good luck!

Are those $12,000 "learn to program" bootcamps a rip-off?

Is there a big difference in the amount of mail you deliver today from 5-10 years ago?

What kind of mark-ups can you fetch on the clothing you resell from thrift stores?
Good question, Boyd. When we talk about a high pressure ridge and low pressure trough you can think about those like a hill and valley in the atmosphere. Irma is moving around the edge of the mountain (high) since it can't climb it and the computer forecast models are showing a valley (low) to the north of Florida so it will move to flow toward the valley (downhill). Still some very limited chance for changes, stay tuned.

I think I would do a search for rain gauge and buy one. It needs to be calibrated for the opening and bucket size. Have fun!
