I wanted to know what the winter outlook of 2018-2019 will be like for the United States?

Hi, Jeremiah. Here is a great site. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/

Is it true that if someone cusses on live TV they can be sued?

Asked by Human being about 6 years ago

Hmmm...don't think so. Might be a question for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). I think they can levy fines.

Why did the siren sound change form a long wail to shorter wails?

Asked by sdafdf almost 6 years ago

Siren choice is up to each municipality. You might check with your local county emergency management office. Thanks!

Hello! So I read an article about the Amazon being in fire. I was wondering if there was a way to take the numbers from how much Co2 is increasing & oxygen being take away & measure the effects elsewhere from wind patterns, temperature changes, etc.

Asked by Desmond over 5 years ago

Interesting question. A little out of my area as a local meteorologist. You might have some luck looking around the website for National Center for Atmospheric Research. https://ncar.ucar.edu/

I have looked online for 2 days I pulled up storm tracks on a radar. Each storm track is designated by a letter then a number. It seems that the numbers are sequential. Do the letters have any meaning?

Asked by Kevin C almost 7 years ago

Hi, Kevin. I'm thinking you mean the Storm Attributes Table, IDs assigned to radar products. Take a look here and see if this is helpful. Thanks. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/radar-data/nexrad-products

why is there more precipitation in Northern California than in Southern California?

Asked by girlstarsccr about 6 years ago

Tricky question because there is a difference between weather, day-to-day, and climate, long-term. California weather is driven in large part by the jet stream atmospheric currents at mid-latitudes which is affected by many things like El Niño, even sunspot cycles. That changes daily, weekly, monthly and so on. Local features like terrain can affect rainfall for a particular site too. So reasons for more precipitation in a given year can be different than over a longer period of time. Broadly speaking, latitude has a lot to do with it. Thanks!

What do you think if you did not work as a broadcast meteorologist what do you think you would be? Lets say the job did not exist,

Asked by Jane about 6 years ago

Hmmmm.....teacher and/or real estate developer. And I do look forward to the day when I can simply enjoy the weather as opposed to working it. Thanks, Jane!
