Me and my co worker are in disagreement about what time is the hottest time of the day. I say between 2 and 3 and he says 4 and 5. What's the correct answer.

Asked by Mikael about 9 years ago

Both! Earlier in the winter and later in the summer since daylight is longer. What do I win?

I'm in an argument with a person who claims to have been a meteorologist for the navy but has no knowledge of physics or algebra. I would think you would need to know a little physics and a lot of algebra. Could you confirm or deny this please?

Asked by Cyntari over 10 years ago

Yes, math is a big part of weather forecasting. Can't confirm or deny your friend's story, but our armed forces have trained many excellent weather observers and forecasters over the years. Good forecasts are a critical part of military activity. Thank them for their service!

Hey Kevin! Another q for you. How do you read the Climate Predictior Cntr Global Tropics Hazards and Benefits Outlook Chart? Does each week showcase the full tropical storm path? IE Is the Sept 14-20 show whats occuring in a 6 day period? TY!

Have to admit, I've not seen this product! Thanks. Yes, it looks like that would cover the movement through that period and is good news for you!

What technology are helping to eliminate global warming?

Asked by sidy badiane over 8 years ago

Thanks for the note. That really is a "climatology" issue as opposed to "meteorology" which is really my area. A climatologist would be better equipped to answer your questions. Thanks.

Hey Kevin! A selfish question here, but getting married in Wilmington NC on September 17th. Think we'll see any more tropical storm/hurricane activity within the next 10-12 days on the Atlantic?

Hi Missy-

Congratulations! A little too early to say at this point but odds seem in your favor. Keep track here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

How does cloud seeding work and what is the process for it

Asked by Juliana R over 8 years ago

Great question. All cloud drops form on a speck of something called a condensation nuclei, dust, smoke, sea salt, etc. The idea with seeding is to introduce these particles, often silver iodide, to encourage the water vapor in the air to condense into a cloud droplet and then merge with other drops to form rain. A lot of question as to if it works but there is enough evidence that people keep trying. Thanks!

Hello why does thunderstorms happen when the forecast doesn't say thunderstorms.?

Asked by Kim about 9 years ago

Hello, Kim. The forecast starts with weather balloons taking measurements of the atmosphere, but only a small portion, and only twice a day. Since the network of balloons is small there are usually things that go unseen and some of those things can help develop storms
