Hey Mr. I have a weather related question for you. The last couple of weeks I've been going crazy with the morning clouds. For photography what I need are clouds over the mountains and clear skies where the sun rises in the east. Instead, all I've been getting are no clouds over the mountains and lots of clouds at in the east at sunrise. What this does is ensure that I don't get any nice light on the mountains and have empty skies over them to work with. About an hour or two after sunrise the situation changes but by then it is too late to get a decent photo. Every morning has pretty much been like this for the last couple of weeks. So here are my questions:

1. What causes the clouds to consistently develop in the east at night and disappear from the mountains?
2. Is it likely to change in the next week or two?
3. How can I get an idea the night before if I'm likely to have conditions worth getting up early for?

Probably the same low pressure system that is stuck over central US right now and drowning us here in Texas (and OK and KS)! And they don't see it moving anytime soon. That's just my opinion.

I hear that everyone down there is practicing for the Olympic swimming team in the backstroke division...... I wish we had just a little bit of it here (FTC) and in Mississippi. They are 15+" under where they usually are at this time of year..

I keep asking the for the rain there and he just won't let get from Texas to Mississippi. But I heard that you are getting some hit and missing (according to Marshall Ramsey) Check his blog sometime, he puts some really nice stuff in there to get your morning started. Read it every morning with my caffenine...

Greg, I'm starting to think that you don't have the answer and that you just flip a coin on weather related issues.

I think you're right Erik....I thought he had a magic 8-ball type of weather predictor though.
