| Program: | | Today's weather forecast is produced using technology from satellites, radar, computer models, and human intuition. This program will use slides, video tape, and a hands-on demonstration to give a better understanding of the role of these tools. It will include a close-up look at the structure of a tornado thunderstorm. These storms are not random events and much has been learned about them during the last 25 years. Get set to look at these storms in a completely different way. Checkout some of Craig's favorite weather links in the Educational Links.
