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.

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

What is the difference between a none , limited ,elevated, significant, and exstreem and a none, GT, marginal, slight, mordant, and high scaling systems? Is it different names for the same thing or is one more percent and one more of the severity

Asked by Max almost 7 years ago

Looks like you might be combining more than one system. If you're asking about severe thunderstorms this link might help! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/about.html

I have developed a new theory on hurricanes and tornadoes (different than meteorologists) and want to have the theories tested. Where do I go?

Can there be a 101% or higher percent of precip? Can you have a -1% or lower?

Asked by DSDL:fj about 7 years ago

Interesting question. Nope. The "probability of precipitation" or POP can be considered the odds of precipitation. A 10% chance means that in similar situations to the predicted ones it rained 1 in 10 times. 90% means it rained 9 times out of 10 in similar situations. Thanks!

Does having a weak El Nino weather pattern this year mean there will be a similar pattern next year? In other words, do El Nino commonly repeat themselves for several years or is it completely random from year to year?

Asked by Planner almost 7 years ago

El Nino does seem to run in cycles but specific to your question, it is difficult to predict a given year based on the previous year. If you'd like to study more here is a page from the National Weather Service, you can also search El Nino Southern Oscillation. https://www.weather.gov/mhx/ensowhat

Is it hard to follow a tornado or a sever storm live on air?

Asked by Daniel about 7 years ago

Generally not, Daniel. Radar information from the network of government radars is updated at least every five to six minutes and in as little as two. Newer radars coming online down the road will update in less than a minute. Great question.

My son and I are wondering if the amount of oxygen in the air we breathe changes when it rains. For example, his principal believes that oxygen levels increase when it rains. Some people think it decreases. We are not so sure it changes at all.

Asked by Serenisticks over 9 years ago

Interesting question. I must admit atmospheric composition beyond the basics is a little out of my area. There is some evidence to suggest that lightning increases nitrogen. Thanks!
