On March 29 around 12:00 p.m. I noticed the clouds in the sky.  They were in the form of a rack of ribs.  They were like connected streams of clouds that I have never seen before.  What caused this formation? 

It could have been signs that the clouds were beginning to dissaptate in sports.

This link may also show a formation fitting your description.  It is actually taken from above!

why on the regular forecast does it call for evening thunderstorms, and on the hour by hour forecast it shows storms at 4:00 p.m. and it doesn't show another storm until midnight. this is a contradiction I see often?

The multiple text hour by hour forecast you see is direct output from a computer with no human intervention. The regular forecast is all human.  Sometimes the humans are right, sometimes the computer is right. :-)

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering though, could I get some insight on who is right the most? LOL : )>

GUESS I AM PUSHING IT HUH : (

Humans beat the computers hands down...for now.   But as soon as you see a robot give the forecast instead of Tim, you'll know the computers have overtaken us... :-)

That would be a tragedy, Tim is the household name for a weatherman. Robotman just doesn't have a ring to it. Thank you for you replies.
