What Jim Cantore Never Told Us.
The conversation started when my wife and I were enjoying coffee on the back porch. It was cooler than usual for this time of year in Arizona because of a cloud cover. After remarking that it looked like there was moisture in the clouds, I got to thinking that most people would automatically conclude that all clouds have moisture.

He can’t hide the knowledge of thunder but professional meteorologists are aware of the more esoteric nature of the heavenly travelers that they don’t share with us.
Clouds are downright frisky.
