It's really too bad that I have such little time to discuss this upcoming forecast. It's quite a doozie. We should be in for a pretty nice day today. We have a strong ridge of high pressure set up which should make today pretty nice. A little warm, by my standards, but altogether a pleasant day. Expect some clouds to roll in during the afternoon hours as a strong cold front bears down on us. The front itself probably won't impact us until later this evening, when we could very well see some showers and t-storms. Once again we are under the watchful eye of the good people from the SPC, who have put out a slight risk of severe weather for us. I'm thinking we won't have to worry about anything dramatic until 1opm, but I can't be quite sure. If I was being paid to sit here all day (which I would love to be) and monitor how fast the front was progressing I could give you much more accurate details. But, unfortunately, I am still a retail slave for a little while longer.
By tomorrow, the front passes just south of us and then slams on the brakes. We will probably see considerable cloudiness tomorrow while the front lingers and becomes stationary. The first of many shortwave systems moves on through on Friday night (hopefully after my glorious display to our nation's birthday). It looks like rain will be even more likely on Saturday. These shortwave systems tend to be kind of erratic, so their timing and potency is often difficult to forecast. But hey, none of you really expect me to get this right anymore now do you?
Today: Sunny and warm. High 87. Winds SW @12-18 mph.
Tonight: Showers and t-storms in the evening. Some may be badass. Evening temps in the low 80s before the front passes. Morning low down to 73.
Tomorrow: Showers linger on in the morning, some partial afternoon clearing. High 80. Winds light and variable.
Tomorrow night: Cloudy with showers and t-storms possible after midnight. Low 68.
Saturday: Showers and t-storms throughout the day. High 78.

I'm flying out of JFK at 7pm tomorrow night. Do you think it will be delayed because of the potential storms? I shouldn't even be commenting, I have too much work to do before I go!
You are right. I don't expect you to get the weather right anymore. Once you start earning money from you forecasting skills, those skills go away. You don't believe me? How else do you explain, the pleothra of very well paid meteorologists who can't forecast to save their skin?
