Nate silver poll analysis. Leader, Adjusted Leader, Weight.

Is there a link that explains Nate Silvers poll analysis. That explains things like Leader, Adjusted Leader, Weight. When I go to the http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ then click on updates, i am not clear on what some of the above mentioned columns mean.
