Notes:
* The Storyteller will decide how widespread the effect is, how long it will last, and how fast it occurs, though typically the more severe the shift, the longer it will take.  
* The storms in the table below are a guideline of what type of weather would exist for that temperature and wind speed and while most of them include precipitation, the caster may choose precipitation or not which may change the condition away from what is indicated in the table at that severity and temperature.
