Is "Tornado Alert" still a thing?

Asked by Carlene over 7 years ago

Hi, Carlene. Need a little more context, please.

Cozad Nebraska has generally been logged as the "meridian city" or near the 100th meridian where the dry arid air meets the eastern humid air. I understand over years this point has moved to the east because of clinate change. Where is that point now

I'll admit to not being familiar with that term. I'll ask the other members of the podcast I co-host called WeatherBrains. Thanks!

Will there be rain in Houston January 18 & 19, 2019?

Asked by eric_atd over 7 years ago

Hi, Eric. A bit too far out to tell. Generally forecasts are pretty accurate 3-5 days out. By 5-7 days many of the main weather features are well forecast but the timing often changes a bit. Thanks!

Why have some scientists argued that the current rise in global temperature is causing an increase in magnitude, frequency, and duration of hurricanes

Asked by girlstarsccr over 7 years ago

Complicated question. The fuel for tropical systems is warm surface water in the ocean. Since the ocean and the atmosphere are connected a warmer atmosphere will create warmer oceans which adds up to more fuel. Hope that helps. Thanks!

Hi, weather teacher here. My students ask me this question, and I've tried researching to no avail. When naming clouds, how come sometimes the root comes before the name and sometimes after (example: nimostratus vs. cumulonimbus)

Asked by Melinda over 7 years ago

Excellent question, and honestly I don’t have an answer, but I know who does. Check out the Cloud Appreciation Society. They will know, and if they don’t they will like the question enough to find out. Let me know! https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/

Kevin, have you got the videos I sent in. I have tried twice but am not sure what is going on. Thanks! Tell me if I need to send them in again. It was of a guy giving commentary on the weatherman who went off on people complaining.

Asked by Nsnsndndnsnsnddj over 6 years ago

I did see that some months ago when it happened. Tough situation. Can’t say I have a comment.

Thank you great answer! I have one more for you do you think people should remain in shelter the WHOLE duration of the warring or do you think it is safe sometime after the rotation has passed?

Asked by Daniel over 7 years ago

Small differences from storm to storm can have a big impact. Would it be safe after a lone supercell passed? Probably. Would your location relative to a squall line of multiple storm cells be important? Absolutely. Extra caution rarely hurts. Thanks.
