What do you honestly think about HAARP?

Asked by Jake over 7 years ago

Really haven't researched much so no opinion.

Do you get much winter weather in Texas???

Asked by Fraser over 6 years ago

Yup! Depending on location. In places like Amarillo in the northwest it is fairly common, less so as you move south. About 15 years ago it snowed 5 inches along the Gulf coast in Corpus Christi on Christmas Eve. That is pretty rare. Thanks, Fraser!

Did you wanted to be a meteorologist as a kid? Were you drawn by seeing the weatherman on TV or did you dream about chasing storms and tornadoes?

Asked by Ladyoasis over 6 years ago

My interest in the sky didn’t really develop until I was in my 20s. Don’t think I really knew that meteorology was a possible career when I was a kid. A lesson for parents and those around kids to watch for interests and feed them. Thanks for asking.

I captured some kind of extremely bright tubular looking objects on top of hurricane Dorian, two photos taken seconds apart and it's either the same object or there was 2,,,so I guess I'm asking is there anything weather related this could be

What do you think about climate change and global warming?

Asked by Jefferson over 6 years ago

I generally stick to short-term forecasting as opposed to climatology, Jefferson. Thanks.

Which takes longer to warm up or cool down during the day

Asked by tommy wilson over 6 years ago

Not sure I have a clear answer to that one. Outside of any of the many influences of things like wind, clouds, warm and cold fronts, the heating process begins as soon as the sun rises and cooling begins once it sets and starts again each day. Many factors such as the amount of moisture in the air, even dust or smog, even temperature, affect the heating and cooling rate. There are math formulas that address ideal situations but college meteorology class was a long time ago!

How do you know whether a weather siren that is blaring is just being tested in the area or if it is an actual weather emergency warning

Asked by Bonnie Faires over 7 years ago

Tests are only done on fair weather days. Usually one day each month, like the first Monday of something like that, and at a regular repeating time. Your local county emergency management office can tell you when the tests are for your area. If it is a stormy day and the siren goes off it is likely a warning. Great question!
