Why is it critical that all levels bliw in the same direction to form a tropical storm? Nd what happens when u have lowwe winds blowing a different than upper winds

If the wind changes direction with height it creates more friction, drag and chaos that impedes the development of the storm. Great question!

What causes a severe thunderstorm to roar like a jet plane hovering overhead... even after the worst of it has passed through.

Asked by ShannyM about 10 years ago

Great question. Lightning creates thunder and the sound will travel, sometimes about 15 miles. So you will hear the rumble as the storm continues away from your location. A single bolt can travel a long way so your are hearing the thunder as it reaches you from each point along the bolt.

If you were to move to a new city, what weather-related datapoints would matter to you?

Asked by Steven almost 10 years ago

Hi Steven-If I understand the question you might try weather.gov. Click on the map for the region you are interested in. Each NWS office will have a link to local climate on the left nav bar. Weather Underground has good information for cities, or do a Google search for (city) climatology. Thanks!

why was 2016 such a hot year and what are the possible effects from the heat? Will we experience temperature increases in2017 also? Are there future issues we need to be worried about due to these spikes in temperatures in the South East?

Asked by Jenna over 9 years ago

Hi Jenna. Great question and one with a big answer. Probably a little too big for the scope of this website. May I recommend NOAA's Climate Prediction Center. There is a ton of good information there. http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/
