Clouds covering all of North America

is this normal? because i don't think it is?

I don't think those are clouds.....

Well I live in South Carolina and it is clear and cool here. I believe the map shows gray if the ground is below a certain temperature. That temperature may show up as gray below 40 degrees but I'm not sure where the cut over is at. I noticed part of the southeast still shows green so I suppose it's warmer near the Gulf of Mexico. That makes sense to me. What you are looking at I believe is a temperature map with some clouds in it. I've seen these types of maps a lot. The ground will show up as white or extremely cold sometimes up north and it's really hard to tell the difference between the ground and clouds if it's really cold.

Oh never mind.....
I was wrong

hell no thats not normal wth wow.

Those are clouds.. not exactly normal but nothing to panic about.. but definitely somethin to watch

www.weather.com... if you go to clouds i under the map its alot of clouds too but its only U.S but it is still bad

interesting. But what about the formation off the coast of the western US. It looks like a cyclone or something. And its huge. Mega-storm?

i agree crazy

I think it's normal. I see weather maps like that all the time. I believe it actually is cloud cover, just not very dense. Snowing outside right now. Neat map.

Cool Florida is clear.

I also like looking at this of the world view for those interested.

Might not be nothing but as I watched the sun set tonight there were smallish clouds to the west of me and they were black, I mean black and ominous, not rain clouds either, just weird black clouds and like one person said those don't look like clouds, I dont think they were clouds...I cant even explain it.... the temp was about 75 f here today and then as soon as the sun started to go down it was about 39 f all within a few minutes, freaked me out. I am in Oregon, very high elevation and the weather here should be snowy right now but instead we have sunshine..... I am very confused.

That cloud cover(or whatever it is) over the Northern states does not seem right to me either.......

Apparently there is a storm heading your way next week , saw it coverd in this other thread ,, might be just the beginning of what´s heading your way
