Default Rain at SAR

Anybody know what's going on there ? We got rain in Philly and I saw the Mets got heavy rain in Queens. Rain will change this track, it always does.

I hope this helps.....

When water becomes warm enough, it evaporates as vapor into the air. When a mass of air quickly cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses into clusters of tiny water droplets and frozen water crystals. We call these clusters clouds. Over time, the droplets and crystals that make up a cloud can attract more water to themselves. When water droplets grow heavy enough, gravity pulls them down as raindrops. If the air is cold enough, the ice crystals can remain frozen and grow large enough to fall as snow, sleet, freezing rain or hail.

Sounds smart but was cut and pasted from Discovery Kids.

Come on. At least have the decency to copy from the Weather Channel or something. Discovery Kids ? How old are you ? Horrible. I just wanted to see if it's rained at SAR.

Creepy part was he cut and pasted copyrighted material as his own. You can't do that. It's lazy and not right.

Is there a reward for turning him in?
