Do you get much winter weather in Texas???

Asked by Fraser almost 6 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!

What are the 6 elements of the atmosphere?

Asked by Darinesha White over 6 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!

What do you think is your favorite part of being a meteorologist? What was your first day on the job like?

Asked by Jamie Johnson over 6 years ago

Thanks for asking, Jamie! Honestly, an evening when I'm off with non-severe thunderstorms and I get a chance to go out and photograph lightning. First day on the job was a little nervous, not too bad. I had been a DJ on the radio for some years and studied meteorology and interned at a local TV station for some time. Do remember one of the anchors staring at me with a look asking, "Who is this kid coming on my newscast." We became good friends. Thanks!

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?

Sitting on my back porch when one of my students called excitedly asking me to look a a cloud formation over the Sandia Mt. A white cloud was literally popping out like popcorn, bulges pushing out all around the growing cloud.
Does it have a name?

Asked by Robert Zachary almost 6 years ago

Difficult to say with out a picture, Robert. The bulges are likely rising air or convection which was probably a cumulus cloud, perhaps some distance behind the mountain. Thanks.
