Thank you for creating this sub-forum. I'd often post two distinct discussions for west and east of the Apps. Now they can both be posted in their respective sub-forums. It'll be clearer for both. Keep in mind it's perfectly acceptable to post in another sub-forum, long as we match the region. In fact it probably adds value and knowledge. They do that a lot for Northeast storms crossing multiple regions. In spring I live in Central/West due to the severe and since I'm from there. However now the Tennessee Valley is home, and I'm glad we have a sub-forum. Cheers!

Maybe I'm old school, but I still like Unisys Weather for a mix of layperson and met charts. Good jumping off point, especially in the Plains, but useful nationwide is the OU Met page som.ou.edu/wx and no I did not go to OU. If you do not have access to the European model www.meteoblue.com has an approximation I believe. It is a European weather site. Click on North America weather maps and go from there using the tabs at the top of the chart. This is anecdotal only, but I think the clouds/rain is loosely based on European output. Enjoy!
