Narrative:
We were holding; then cleared for the arrival; then given another hold. We did not have a filed alternate; but decided to divert and told ATC. Then they told us we would be the last ones in and gave us a vector for the approach for the original airport. We started out a little behind but briefed the approach. There were some small red areas on the radar; coming in I got too fixated on them and didn't start down in time. Then we were above the glideslope and trying to correct. I put out the spoilers and then forgot about them. At 1000ft realized we were at too high a descent rate and were only flap 30. I initiate a go around and briefly got the shaker; lowered the nose slightly and continued the missed approach. On climb out during 'climb sequence' the first officer (first officer) noticed the spoilers were still out. Due to deteriorating weather conditions we diverted. Don't try to catch the glideslope from above and always state verbally when you put the spoilers out so the other pilot knows.

Title: A Captain and First Officer described an unstabilized approach and go-around in a low fuel state after holding for passing thunderstorms.
Narrative: We were holding; then cleared for the arrival; then given another hold. We did not have a filed alternate; but decided to divert and told ATC. Then they told us we would be the last ones in and gave us a vector for the approach for the original airport. We started out a little behind but briefed the approach. There were some small red areas on the radar; coming in I got too fixated on them and didn't start down in time. Then we were above the glideslope and trying to correct. I put out the spoilers and then forgot about them. At 1000ft realized we were at too high a descent rate and were only flap 30. I initiate a go around and briefly got the shaker; lowered the nose slightly and continued the missed approach. On climb out during 'climb sequence' the First Officer (FO) noticed the spoilers were still out. Due to deteriorating weather conditions we diverted. Don't try to catch the glideslope from above and always state verbally when you put the spoilers out so the other pilot knows.
