    From The Weather Center:

    WeatherBrains 101: This episode of 101 goes a little off the grid this week with a look at a colloquial term that is probably difficult to find in any meteorological textbook. The term “sucker hole” may not have originated in the field of meteorology, but it sure applies to our field.

    TWIWH: No TWIWH this week.
