HELP!!! Where have all the weather bloggers gone???

St Louis is under a slight risk of severe storms this afternoon and for the past year or so I've followed these storms with the help of different weather bloggers.  They talked about MCS, CAPES, MUCAPES, caps, wind shear and all sorts of things I didn't understand.  The talked about GFS models and NAM models and which models were good long range or short range.  If a current storm system disappointed, bloggers were there to lift our spirits by pointing out a potential for storms 10 days hence.  It was magic, it was lively, and it was addictive. 

But, WHERE THE HECK IS EVERYONE?

Angela Hutti posted a blog on June 22nd but not one since (is she on vacation?  If so, why didn't she say goodbye?  Why can't she check in on us to see how we are doing and if we need her expert advice?  Dave does and Chris used to do that).  Even so, only a smattering of posts in the past day or two by different bloggers.  MAD, WEAX and that kid from Belleville -- all gone.  Not to mention Foxfan and a few fellow blogger from the great city of Florissant.

How am I going to know what the dew point levels are around the viewing area?  Does everyone have sunshine or is it just me?  How are the Morrel Mushrooms this year?  What do the storms look like toward the center of the state?  How are things looking on the east side?

I am so lonely.

My name is Al and I am a weather addict.

Please...WHERE HAVE ALL THE WEATHER BLOGGERS GONE?

It is warm and sunny today...maybe they're at the pool?

I dunno what has happened I used to just view the blogs in the winter time but I decieded to keep on lookin at them this spring and summer. There is not much action since chris is not here for now. Maybe she just isnt as hard working and chris and dave is.

I'm still here :)

I was wondering the same thing though, it's like they all vanish when the white stuff stops falling from the sky! I know there's a lot more people who are interested or concerned w/ winter weather, but there still has to be a lot out there who are storm junkies! Come back guys, you know who you are.

OK, I'm here. I'm just discouraged by some of the blogs that get "featured". I'll say it: I just don't care as much about severe weather as I do about snow. Does that make me less of a weather blogger???? Actually, I guess it does.

I agree, though, it would be nice to have a fresh corner....maybe we should ask Mark?

I'm Here!

I've been around, and been doing some blogging, just not here so much. Every time I come here nobody is blogging, so I have just been hopping around to other blogs. I personally like both Summer and Winter weather just the same, but I like severe weather a tad bit more, But the majority are gone this time of year. I'll blog here more often.

My name is Mad.
I'm a weather addict.
I am NOT ashamed!

DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0223 AM CDT SUN JUL 06 2008

VALID 081200Z - 091200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS CENTRAL KS TO SRN LOWER MI...

...SYNOPSIS...
DEVELOPMENT OF MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING FROM HUDSON BAY SWWD
ACROSS MB AND ND/MN -- DESCRIBED IN DAY-2 OUTLOOK -- WILL RESULT IN
BROAD AREA OF CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT FROM SASK ACROSS UPPER MS VALLEY
AND UPPER GREAT LAKES THIS PERIOD. PRIMARY TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE ESEWD ACROSS NWRN ONT AND LS DURING DAY-3...REACHING AXIS FROM
JAMES BAY TO NRN/ERN WI BY 9/12Z. MEANWHILE...ELONGATED/PERSISTENT
TROUGHING OVER ERN CONUS SHOULD WEAKEN FURTHER AND MOVE EWD TO MID
ATLANTIC/TIDEWATER REGION BY APPROXIMATELY 9/00Z.

AT SFC...COLD FRONT -- NOW MOVING EWD ACROSS DAKOTAS AND NWRN MN --
IS PROGGED TO BECOME QUASISTATIONARY FROM VICINITY SWRN QUE ACROSS
NRN LOWER MI REGION THEN SWWD OVER SRN IA TO WRN KS LATE DAY-2.
EFFECTIVE BAROCLINIC ZONE SHOULD THEN MOVE SLOWLY SWD TOWARD
OH...IL...MO...SRN KS...AND TX PANHANDLE WITH AID FROM CONVECTIVE
PROCESSES.

...LOWER MI TO S-CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
SCATTERED TSTMS SHOULD DEVELOP INVOF SFC BAROCLINIC ZONE DURING
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENIN

LOWER MI TO S-CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...
SCATTERED TSTMS SHOULD DEVELOP INVOF SFC BAROCLINIC ZONE DURING
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...WITH A FEW CLUSTERS OR BANDED SEGMENTS
PERSISTING INTO OVERNIGHT HOURS AS REGIME SAGS SWD. BOUNDARY LAYER
AIR MASS ALONG AND S OF THAT PORTION OF FRONT BETWEEN LOWER MI AND
NERN KS SHOULD BE CHARACTERIZED BY SFC DEW POINTS UPPER 60S TO LOW
70S F. LARGEST MLCAPES SHOULD BE FROM CENTRAL/NERN KS TO MID/UPPER
MS VALLEY WHERE RICHEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS JUXTAPOSED BENEATH
RELATIVELY STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES. FCST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
WEAKLY SHEARED AND NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP-LAYER WIND PROFILES W
OF MS RIVER AND AWAY FROM OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...CONDUCIVE TO
MULTICELL/LINEAR MODES AND PRIMARY CONCERN BRING STG-SVR GUSTS.
SOMEWHAT GREATER LOW LEVEL SHEAR MAY DEVELOP FROM MS RIVER ENEWD
ACROSS SRN LOWER MI TO AID IN STORM ORGANIZATION. POTENTIAL SHOULD
BECOME MORE ISOLATED WITH WWD EXTENT INTO PROGRESSIVELY WEAKER
MOISTURE...BUT WITH WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER STILL SUPPORTING SOME
DAMAGING GUST POTENTIAL WITH STRONGER CELLS.

...MID ATLANTIC/TIDEWATER/PIEDMONT REGIONS...
WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED TSTMS ARE POSSIBLE PRIMARILY DURING
AFTERNOON. CLOSE APCH OF MID/UPPER TROUGH AND PRECEDING FIELD OF
WEAK LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL COINCIDE WITH PEAK DIURNAL HEATING AND
RELATED WEAKENING OF SBCINH OVER THIS REGION...WITH DEW POINTS
COMMONLY UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S F. WEAK DEEP-LAYER WIND
PROFILES...AND RESULTING LACK OF ROBUST SHEAR...SHOULD LIMIT
ORGANIZE

.DISCUSSION...
/251 AM CDT SUN JUL 6 2008/
FAST ZONAL FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE NORTHERN UNITED STATES THIS
MORNING WITH HEIGHT RISES ACROSS THE MID SECTION OF THE COUNTRY AND
A STUBBURN CUT-OFF LOW DRIFTING OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY.

AT THE SURFACE...THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT PROVIDED A
SEASONABLY COOL WEEKEND THUS FAR WILL MOVE FURTHER EAST TODAY. THIS
WILL ALLOW A WARM FRONT TO MOVE ACROSS THE CWA WITH SUMMER HUMIDITY
AND TEMPERATURES RETURNING.

00Z 850MB ANALYSIS AND LATEST RUC ANALYSIS INDICATE A GENEROUS
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL ACCOMPANY THE WARM FRONTAL
PASSAGE. THIS WARRENTS AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA. ISOLATED CONVECTION
ALREADY EVIDENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.

CHANCES OF CONVECTION WILL SHIFT FURTHER EAST THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. GIVEN CURRENT SATELLITE TRENDS AND CUTOFF LOW LOCATION IN
OHIO RIVER VALLEY...BELIEVE HEIGHT FIELD THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
WILL SUPPORT A STRONG SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THUNDERSTORM
PROPOGATION. THEREFORE...THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP ACROSS
IOWA/NORTHWEST ILLINOIS THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKEY MOVE SOUTH
AROUND THE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE...AFFECTING WESTERN ILLINOIS AND
MAYBE EVEN EASTERN MISSOURI WHERE INSTABILITY AXIS WILL RESIDE. IN
FACT...BOTH THE NSSL AND NCEP 4KM WRF MODEL SOLUTIONS SUPPORT THIS
STORM MOVEMENT.

BROAD AND WEAK WARM ADVECTION DURING THE OVERNIGHT WILL CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT CHANCE POPS...ALONG AND EAS

Btw, the OP made me chuckle. I understand the feeling, have felt it myself. :)

I am a 44 year old life long resident of North County who recently pulled up his stakes and moved into the city (Holly Hills). I really like it so far and enjoy being close to all the action. I have four children (three of whom are teenagers!). I enjoy following the weather as well as astronomy and stargazing. I also play board games (mostly old-style war games or new style euro games), chess, and am working toward my private pilot's license. I am also an avid reader and writer.
