So what do Cyclones, Zephyrs, Thunder, Dust Devils, a Storm, and the Sun all have in common? And is there a connection between these phenomena and this time of year? Of course there is! Baseball season is here, and each of these important members of the weather family adorns the uniform of a minor league baseball team. As you can tell, the names of these teams are associated with phenomena that are frequent occurrences in the springtime. Cold temperatures are currently giving way to warm ones as often as starting pitchers give way to closers. So grab your climatological scorecard, because we are ready to provide you with a major league roster of information and statistics that are sure to cover all of your weather bases. And, if you need more proof that our national pastime and weather are inextricably linked, you need look no further than the words of the iconic Nuke LaLouche:

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes it rains."

I am guessing that the new OKC NBA franchise will not be the Mesocyclones, Tornadoes, or Twisters. Of course, given their location in the Bricktown district, maybe they could trade for Shaq and be the OKC Bricks!

My favorite minor league team is the Express, from Round Rock, Texas. Of course, the weather folk use "express" in several weather terms, including the Pineapple Express, which is the conveyor belt of moisture that enters the Western US from near the Hawaiian Islands, and the Arctic Express, which represent those bitter cold high pressure systems that grip the country during the winter. Neither Express is conducive for outdoor baseball. Maybe that explains the 7-15 start for the Round Rock team of the same name.
