What’s with all the bad weather today? There is sever storms and tons of snow all around.

Asked by Jamie about 5 years ago

Fall is a season of transition so the atmosphere is trying to figure it out!

I have several questions for a school project? Would you be willing to answer all fourteen of them? Or is there anyway I can email privately?

What are the 6 elements of the atmosphere?

Asked by Darinesha White over 5 years ago

Hi, Darinesha. Not sure exactly what you are asking. If you mean the gases that make up the atmosphere you might do a web search. The two highest concentrations are nitrogen and oxygen and a list of other things including water vapor. Thanks!

Why does cold ocean water dissipate hurricanes?

Asked by mary over 5 years ago

Great question, Mary. Thunderstorms, the primary component of hurricanes, run on warmth. Warm water is the fuel, warming the air above it, and releasing stored heat as it changes between liquid and gas (water vapor). Warm water equals fuel, cooler water equals less fuel.

What do you think about climate change and global warming?

Asked by Jefferson about 5 years ago

I generally stick to short-term forecasting as opposed to climatology, Jefferson. Thanks.

Why do some meteorologists get so excited especially newbies when storms hit even if they are not that bad?

Asked by Montie almost 6 years ago

We're all pretty fascinated by the atmosphere and how complicated it is, and we've studied to understand it. Since we can't just see storms in action any time we want, like studying rocks, or animals or something we can't find whenever we want, it is pretty exciting when a storm pops up. I will admit that some folks might temporarily forget the serious nature of a strong storm but that all goes back to being fascinated. Thanks!

Do you get much winter weather in Texas???

Asked by Fraser about 5 years ago

Yup! Depending on location. In places like Amarillo in the northwest it is fairly common, less so as you move south. About 15 years ago it snowed 5 inches along the Gulf coast in Corpus Christi on Christmas Eve. That is pretty rare. Thanks, Fraser!
