Weekly Update 05/16/2009
Locally, we've had a good week, not including the two tornadoes (one on Tuesday in Lakeland, and one in Temple Terrace on Wednesday, which I'll be getting to in a moment). Highs will actually be cool next week, in the mid 80s, with lows ranging from 60s to 70s. Also, a chance for rain will hang around each day this week as Florida enters it's rainy season. Here is a radar loop of the storms on 5/13/09, from 4:04 pm to 7:52 pm. I'm working on a historical storm analysis page where I'll give information about this and other storms.

A replacement to the Space Shuttle is not due until 2014.
