I have said before I never studied meteorology, and as far as storms are concerned I am learning the basics because I plan to be a storm spotter. I never take ANY forecast as gospel, I read every thing it says regarding any warning on met0, and I have learnt that the percentage risks of storm mean nothing, considering I had a 0 risk last week and got quite a few storms, but nothing when it's said 80%. Therefore I take a forecast as a guide of what could happen, not would WILL happen. Feeling like i'm treated like a kid at school with it all, when I'm not stupid just because I didn't study stuff. I'm here to learn and make sense of what charts mean and all the terms. I am fed up having people who aren't in my area trying to flame me because I am moaning about lack of storms in a 'please moan' thread.
