Asked by Keith over 5 years ago

Looks like a couple of thunderstorm cells within the hurricane that have risen above the central dense overcast of the storm. Thunderstorms are made of volumes of rising air as long as they are warming than the surrounding air. These have risen above the others. The bright spots are caused by the sunlight hitting the storm towers, along with darker shadows on the other side.

Thank you great answer! I have one more for you do you think people should remain in shelter the WHOLE duration of the warring or do you think it is safe sometime after the rotation has passed?

Asked by Daniel about 6 years ago

Small differences from storm to storm can have a big impact. Would it be safe after a lone supercell passed? Probably. Would your location relative to a squall line of multiple storm cells be important? Absolutely. Extra caution rarely hurts. Thanks.

Is "Tornado Alert" still a thing?

Asked by Carlene about 6 years ago

Hi, Carlene. Need a little more context, please.

With all due respect I heard that newer people who go into certain stations are not as qualified as some of the older guys. Is this true, false, unknown ,or can you even comment?

Asked by The man almost 6 years ago

No offense taken! I would say this is true in any job or industry. More years usually means more experience!

Why have some scientists argued that the current rise in global temperature is causing an increase in magnitude, frequency, and duration of hurricanes

Asked by girlstarsccr about 6 years ago

Complicated question. The fuel for tropical systems is warm surface water in the ocean. Since the ocean and the atmosphere are connected a warmer atmosphere will create warmer oceans which adds up to more fuel. Hope that helps. Thanks!

Do you overreact when there is a low risk tornado watch and act like its the end of the world?

Asked by A man named Sue over 5 years ago

Well...I sure try not to do that. Most of us try to create awareness rather than anxiety over severe weather.

So that kind of made me think of another one for you if you don’t mind. Why is spring usually more active then fall? When their both transition and unstable seasons why does spring have it in?

Asked by Jamie over 5 years ago

Thunderstorm instability is created by warmer air at the surface and colder air aloft, which makes air parcels rise, like a hot air balloon. Coming out of winter the air is colder aloft as the surface is warming with longer days and more direct sunlight.
