Days ago I made a statement which gave a 90F for London and 80F for Scotland and I am going to continue holding to that idea just now. As it stands, heights build to strongest levels Friday through Sunday but Sunday perhaps sees a front work in from the west which could bring some interesting […]

The larger the contrast and greater the vertical motion and with […]
