As you read my forecast,
you will likely come across weather terms which seem common.
However, they really do carry their own specific meaning which
probably mean more than you would expect. This list is designed to
make my forecast as understandable as possible. If you see another word
in the forecast which you want clarification on, but is not listed here,
please let
me know.
