I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
Hello, Ladies. Yup, there sure are. Not knowing the age group of your audience makes it a little diffucult for me to give an answer. I'd start with an Internet search, and, basic meteorology books, espeically ones geared toward kids are also a good resource. Goog luck!
Hi, Selern. Nope, but thunderstorm cells within a hurricane can produce tornadoes. A tornado is a relatively small scale feature compared to a hurricane, usually less than a mile compared to hundreds of miles across. Thanks!
Happy to take a look, Andy. I'm not a rainbow expert but you could post it on a social media page or Flickr and give me the link. Thanks!
Yes! This is caused by a lunar eclipse. Recently the term "blood moon" has been used on social media giving it some new life. Thanks!

What's the craziest behind-the-scenes Starbucks story you have?

Are there social cliques (like "cool kids") in old folks homes?

Have you ever ordered a pilot to abort mid-takeoff?
No, most weather segments are not scripted. And, I think most weather people agree that this is pretty conclusive evidence that the weather folks are much smarter than the news anchors. :)
Hi, JG. I must admit that is a bit out of my area of expertise. You might try an internet search. I found this: http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/costa-rica_2736/map/
Thanks!
When rain falls it creates friction with the air around it, and a downdraft. Friction creates heat with can evaporate water (cloud droplets) and downdraft is also a warming process. Sounds to me like the cloud that created the rain evaporated by the time you felt the drops and looked up. Cool!
