From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: The field of weather uses a number of different models in arriving at the impact of a particular weather event. One of those used in the tropical arena is called SLOSH and has nothing to do with drinking, but it does have something to do with how much water a tropical system will impact an area.
TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of August 4th.
