Weather

Weekend gets off to 'bright and dry start'
Ask the Meteorologists : I hope you can help me! I have to do a project about keeping track of the weather while I am tracked out of year-round school. I did not realize I had to start my project on Saturday, May 10 and I did not get the High Temp., the Low Temp. or the Temp. at noon. Can you help me with this or give me a website that could help me?
Ask the Meteorologists : What is sea Breezes? What is Land Breezes? If you will try to answer these, I would be very greatful.
Ask the Meteorologists : What is the difference between a hurricane, a typhoon, and a cyclone? Everything I have read so far indicates that they are basically the same thing, with different names. Help!
Ask the Meteorologists : During last Friday night's hailstorm I ended up w/ a significant accumulation under my garage eaves. I noticed that it was still there when I got up Saturday morning. When it was STILL there @ 7PM Saturday I went out to investigate & it was still REALLY cold; is hail uber-cold when it is formed in the atmosphere & hits the ground? I would have thought it would have melted before sunrise Saturday.
