Can anyone explain what these columns mean? We currently predict "temp" (high for the day). We take that from the "AIR" column... should we actually take it from "6hr Max"? @NWSGrandRapids @ihulsizerwx @weathermankeith @ellenbacca @13OYSwx @WXSamantha @BlakeHansen19 @JonShaner

Some non-severe thunderstorms are tracking NE this morning. Frequent thunder and lightning and 40 mph wind gusts should be expected. #wmiwx @wzzm13

Week 1 ends in the basement (literally due to a Tornado). First year team "Psychrometer..." coming in with one of the strongest weeks we've seen in the history of FW. For new follower's the idea is the the lowest score... #FWftw
