How Do You Become a Meteorologist?
A worthwhile blog post from a friend of mine.
The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
Me being a weather geek, I will read the article Mike. I heard the math is really hard, my weakest area. I wish I would have tried back when I was young in pursing a meteorology degree. But being in my late 40's now, it would not be worth the effort. But on the bright side, I can still spot/chase storms, look at forecast models and try to create my own forecast and compare it with the experts.
