I discovered Wikipedia late October 2 2004. It's very fascinating, and very addictive. There is a great deal of information at Wikipedia. That in itself is very engrossing. But you, anybody, can edit any and nearly all pages in the Wikipedia. I have already set up a free account there, and I have begun to edit some misspellings I found on pages there. I have also started my first article there, on arctic explorers. It's really just a stub, but I'll be enlarging on it soon. You really should check the Wikipedia out at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page WARNING: Wikipedia is EXTREMELY addictive!!! You've been warned!!

I have had many posts concerning general computing or just about computers and not having anything to do with viruses or spyware or other malware, so I opened our general computer forum today at 136pm on Mon October 4 2004.

Talk about computers in general here, post discussions, links, anything about computers.

In Woodbridge, Va today we observed partly cloudy skies with a high temperature of 67 degrees. The morning low was 54 degrees. Winds were NW at 8 to 13 mph. Monday looks like clear to a few clouds with light N winds and highs in the upper 60s. The low should be 47 to 51 degrees. Buda, Texas hit 90 degrees today, with a dewpoint of 72 degrees. Yep it's still late summer there. It was partly cloudy with ESE winds 10 to 21mph. The heat index made it feel like 98 degrees. Monday in Buda should be in the low 80s with lows near 60 degrees and dewpoints in the low/mid 60s. Winds will ne ENE at 12 ti 18mph and partly cloudy.

No tropical systems of note 6:05 p.m. ET ET Sun.,Oct.3,2004 Tom Moore, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel For the first time since the 24th of August, there is no named tropical system in the Atlantic Basin; nor is there an imminent threat of one developing. About the only disturbance of note is a trough of low pressure in the western Caribbean producing pockets of heavy rain just off the east coast of Central America. Another cluster of showers is producing areas of heavy rain in the vicinity of Trinidad, Tobago and Grenada. For the moment, both the eastern and western Pacific are devoid of tropical cyclones, too.

Rainy Monday likely in Texas, Oklahoma 1:29 P.M. ET 10/3/2004 Senior Meteorologist, The Weather Channel South Except for a lonely shower or storm here and there over the Florida Peninsula and in far eastern North Carolina, the weather in the South east of the Mississippi should be absolutely delightful tomorrow: sunny and seasonably warm. West of the Mississippi, scattered showers and thunderstorms will prevail, especially in Oklahoma and Texas. The rain may be locally heavy in parts of northern Texas, perhaps near the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, as a weak upper-air disturbance and decelerating cold front join forces there. Farther south, a few severe storms could pop up in parts of West Texas. High temperatures are expected to range from the 60s in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles to the 80s in southern and eastern Texas, the Deep South and Florida. Midwest A reinforcing mass of chilly air pushing over the Midwest and Plains tomorrow will keep temperatures below early October means. Highs are expected to range from the 40s in the northern portions of the Upper Midwest to the low to mid-70s in the lower Ohio Valley, extreme southern Missouri and southeast Kansas. Sunshine will prevail over most of the region with precipitation confined to a few stray rain or wet snow showers in parts of northern Michigan. Northeast A moisture-starved cold front moving through the Northeast tomorrow will deliver only a sparse scattering of light showers to a limited area. Only a few locations from northern Vermont through New York into parts of Pennsylvania seem likely to get wet. High temperatures will be near seasonal norms (mostly in the 60s and 70s), before plunging to below average levels Tuesday. West Sunshine will dominate much of the West Monday with the threat of precipitation relatively limited. Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will dot the Intermountain region, with somewhat greater activity likely in eastern Colorado and eastern New Mexico (including the eastern slopes of the Rockies). A few of the storms in southeastern New Mexico could turn severe. High temperatures are expected to be above early autumn means in the Northwest, below in the eastern parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Overall, maxima will range from the 40s in parts of the Colorado Rockies to the 90s in the Desert Southwest. Readings in the 70s will be widespread in the lower elevations of Washington, Oregon and Montana.

Lisa is the only Atlantic named storm 5:52 p.m. ET ET Sat.,Oct.2,2004 Jonathan Erdman, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Lisa remains the "lone wolf" as far as named tropical cyclones are concerned in the Atlantic Basin this weekend. Lisa was downgraded to a tropical storm this afternoon, and is now caught up in the jet stream. Strong winds aloft are not a friend of tropical cyclones, so Lisa should weaken further as it is pulled well north of the Azores. Low pressure in the upper-levels of the atmosphere, not at the surface, will trigger numerous showers over parts of Central America, particularly Nicaragua and Honduras over the next few days. Localized flooding and mudslides are possible over Central America as this low creeps northwestward through early next week. Since this low is NOT at the surface, further development of this system into a tropical cyclone is not imminent. However, the western Caribbean is an area that can breed tropical cyclones in the month of October, and we will keep a watch on this. A tropical wave sliding westward through the Lesser Antilles will keep showers in the islands through at least Sunday

Another Midwest bone-chiller tonight 9:00 P.M. ET 10/2/2004 J. Erdman, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Northeast High pressure will build in behind an aggressive cold front on Sunday in the Northeast. Behind the front, drier air will filter into the region scouring out moisture that had resulted in fog the past few days. Temperatures overnight will drop into the 40s across much of the interior northeast with a few 30s in some of the valleys of Upstate New York and western Pennsylvania. Frost advisories are posted in extreme northwest Pennsylvania and southwest New York state tonight. Following the cold start, afternoon highs will rise into the 50s in northern New England, 60s from the craggy Maine coast to the eastern Great Lakes and a few 70s in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Sunny, bright-blue skies will dominate the Northeast on Sunday. As a new cold front approaches the region on Monday clouds will be on the increase. In general the weather for the next two days in the Northeast will be great for leaf peeping. South Across the South the effects of the cold front will vary. The fog that has enveloped the central Appalachians and the Southeast for the past week will not be so prolific for the next few days. The moisture laden air that has lingered will be replaced with drier air on Sunday. As the front drifts into the South, a section will stall around the Southeast Coast and help trigger showers and thunderstorms on Sunday. In Texas the western tail of the front will stagnate or move north as a warm front. This movement will allow warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to stream into the Panhandle of Texas and the favored upslope region of southern Colorado and New Mexico setting the stage for scattered thunderstorm development Sunday. By Monday the thunderstorm and rain area will expand in coverage and intensity. The cold front will usher in some drier air as far south as Montgomery, Alabama and Jackson, Mississippi. South of this line the humidities will remain sticky. Temperatures in the South will generally top out in the 80s, except for a few stubborn 90s in Florida. Midwest Those who have bought their pumpkins already may notice a layer of frost on them Sunday morning. The same expansive dome of high pressure that produced record cold from the Dakotas to Kansas Saturday morning should coat cars, and pumpkins, with frost Sunday morning from the mid-Mississippi Valley to the eastern Great Lakes. Frost advisories are posted from Missouri to southwest New York State. Lows should bottom out in the 30s as far south as the hills of southern Missouri. Reinforcing cold air is on the way from Canada. Another vigorous cold front will slice its way into the Upper Midwest on Sunday. West to southwest winds ahead of this front, perhaps as high as 35 mph, will provide a brief warm-up for much of the region Sunday. Highs should recover into the 60s and 70s over much of the region, with a few 80s expected in the central Plains. Behind the on Monday, highs will likely not make it out of the 40s in the Iron Range of northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Moisture from this southward diving front will be scant. Probably the most significant precipitation from this front will arrive behind it Sunday night into Monday, in the form of lake-effect rain and snow in the favored belts of Upper and northern Lower Michigan. Lake surface temperatures are still quite warm from the past summer season. Colder air flowing over these relatively warm waters will provide the instability for these bands of rain and snow. Any snow accumulations should remain in higher, inland locations on Monday. West With the exception of Colorado and New Mexico the West will enjoy perfect weather. High pressure will dominate the Pacific Northwest with warm, sunny days and cool evenings. Sunday will be a great day to head up into the mountains to see the golden Aspens before they reach their peak. There is a chance of isolated afternoon thunderstorms from Colorado south into New Mexico on Sunday. An upper-level disturbance will mingle with warm moist air flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico into the lee side of the Sangre de Cristos increasing the coverage and duration of showers and thunderstorms into the early part of the upcoming week. The cloud cover from the upslope event will keep temperatures mild from Colorado to the Texas Panhandle. The Great Basin, the California Central Valley, and the Desert Southwest will stay warm with temperatures from the 70s to the 90s on Sunday and Monday.

Lisa in the north Atlantic 11:44 a.m. ET ET Sat.,Oct.2,2004 Tim Ballisty, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel There is only one named system in the Atlantic, and that is Hurricane Lisa well ensconced in the north Atlantic. Yesterday afternoon, Lisa was upgraded and became the 8th hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season. However, it was only a brief flirtation with hurricane status as it was quickly downgraded to a tropical storm late Friday night. But early this morning, it was once again upgraded to hurricane status. Lisa is quickly heading to the northeast as it gets picked up by a shearing upper-level low and moves over colder sea surface temperatures. Soon it will be entirely extratropical. Meanwhile, a tropical wave in conjunction with an upper-level disturbance is firing up numerous showers and storms in the west-central Caribbean. Some development is possible over the next few days as a more favorable upper-level environment is forecast to build over the disturbance. We'll monitor the tropical disturbance as it heads for the western Caribbean and possibly into the Bay of Campeche by early next week. In the short term, this tropical activity will likely spell flooding rains for the Cayman Islands and parts of northern and central Cuba during the day on Saturday.

Cold October Nights 5:43 A.M. ET 10/2/2004 James Wilson, Senior Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Northeast A strong cold front will arrive in the Northeast with rain and thunderstorms for New York and the Mid-Atlantic today and for New England from late tonight into early Sunday morning. The front will move steadily along so rainfall will generally stay under three-quarters of an inch and the threat for any additional flooding is low. Daytime temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s today and in the 50s and 60s as the sunshine returns on Sunday. A second cold front will move through the region Monday and early Tuesday with very little rainfall. Morning frostiness in the mountains beginning as soon as Sunday could reach into the suburbs of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington by Wednesday. South Today, the southern portion of the cold front will sag toward the Rio Grande and the Louisiana Gulf Coast while tracking eastward from the western Tennessee Valley into the Carolinas and Georgia. A few thunderstorms will precede the cold front as it moves into the Deep South. Daytime temperatures Saturday will range from the 60s and 70s in western Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas (some 5 to 15 degrees below average) to the 80s in the Carolinas and the 80s and low 90s around the Gulf (up to 5 degrees above average). Temperatures on Sunday will be 5 degrees either side of average, ranging from the 70s north (from western Texas to North Carolina) to the 80s and low 90s once again around the Gulf. A reinforcing cold front will sweep into the South Monday and Tuesday. Showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase in parts of the Southeast and the southern Plains. Midwest The strong cold front will completely exit the eastern Ohio by this afternoon, leaving the Plains and Midwest rain free except for rain and a few flakes of snow across western Upper Michigan. Winds will remain gusty over the Upper Midwest. After morning temperatures in the 20s and a hard freeze across the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, temperatures will rebound into the 60s and low 70s (near average) in the Plains and into the 50s (5 to 15 degrees below average) in the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. A second strong windy cold front will sweep through the region from the Dakotas and Upper Midwest to the Appalachians and Deep South Sunday and Monday. The front will be mostly rain free, but the strong winds and a new surge of cold air over Lake Superior and Lake Michigan will cause more rain and snow showers over northern Michigan. West As temperatures rebound to above-average levels over the high Plains of Montana and Wyoming Saturday (due to warming westerly down-sloping winds), temperatures will be 5 to 15 degrees below average over the high Plains of eastern New Mexico. A few showers will linger in the central and southern Rockies. A second cool Canadian high pressure area will slide southward east of the Rockies later Sunday and Monday producing another round of below average temperatures. Meanwhile, temperatures in the Pacific Northwest will be 5 to 10 degrees above average right through Monday. Over the Southwest, one upper-level system has exited eastward but will be replaced by new Pacific disturbances over the weekend, prolonging the risk for showers and a few thunderstorms across parts of Wyoming and the Four Corners' states into the coming week.
