This forum has a very broad scope, anything relating to weather goes here.
A few ideas....weather reporting, attempted weather forecasting, notification of severe or inclement weather, meteorology terminology, beginners guide, advanced discussion topics.
Personally I like talk about severe weather, as I am trained Skywarn spotter.

The rainbow is one of the more spectacular light shows observed on earth. The traditional rainbow is sunlight spread out into its spectrum of colors and diverted to the eye of the observer by water droplets. The "bow" part of the word refers to the fact that the rainbow is a group of nearly circular arcs of color all having a common center. Typically, we only see a portion of the entire circle, leading to the bow shape.

There are several sites that provide links to weather observation stations. Here are a few;
»www.anythingweather.com/ has a nice clickable map - station types include
*AnythingWeather Station
*NWS Station
*DOT Station
*Forest Service Station
*Flood District Station
*Personal Weather Station
*APRS Station
*Cooperative Weather Observer Program (CWOPs)
*Mesonet
Here's a site listing primarily HAM stations but has many citizen stations too - it has CWOPs that the above may not have;
»wxqa.com/stations.html
There are lots of Weatherbug stations out there - here's a search page for them;

The University of Utah's Meteorology department hosts MESOWEST, a collection of real time weather stations throughout the U.S.
To find stations, go to »www.met.utah.edu/mesowest/
You can click on the map to provide a list for your state or use the dropdown selection lists. To narrow down the list a bit, select your area in the "Region" dropdown list, then select Current Weather Summary in the "Product" dropdown list.
After selecting these, you can further select NWS stations, interagency Remote Automated Weather Stations(RAWS) or all MESOWEST reporting network stations as well as times and dates in the "settings" screen on the results page.
Mesowest gets weather station data courtesy of APRSWXNET/Citizen Weather Observer Program
and Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS)
