For reasons I can't fully explain, I love the weather notes that the New York Times runs on the top right corner of page one.

I've been clipping these compulsively for about a month now. There's something touching about the economy of expression here, sort of a meteorological haiku.

Sometimes they also have odd line breaks and unexpected punctuation, bold stuff right out front from a stylistically conservative newspaper.

Reliably, there's there's always the kicker at the end: the location of the weather map in the day's paper.

Here's today's:

Michigan: Unseasonably warm temperatures. Cloudy with a few, mainly afternoon showers, south. Highs 63 to 76. Partly sunny in the north, highs 48 to 63. Weather map is on Page A16.

A random earlier offering:

Michigan: Clouds arriving from west to east. A few showers are likely in the evening. Highs will range from upper 30s in the north to low 50s in the southwest. Weather map is on Page C18.
