9/19/2007 Between Weather Systems
An outward rushing of cold air from a thunderstorm creates a mini cold front.

After the major frontal storm last Friday we, again, enter a stretch of drought. Though the Friday Humberto-Front event has put a major dent in the drought situation. Other than that and a ragged low in Florida that might come into fruition later this week, the area is dominated by another incessant dome of high pressure. On the hydrology terms I am about to join a network of that nature by the 50-cent name of CoCoRAHS (Community Collaborative Rain Hail and Snow). This is a precipitation reporting network for the National Weather Service and aids in hydrology, climatology, and severe weather warnings. Anyone can join so I will provide a link Here to the CoCoRAHS homepage so that anyone can join the CoCoRAHS rain guage network. There is also a slideshow there portraying how to collect the right data from all precipitation types.
