Science lesson time: (Since most of us are stuck inside today.)
As you may have noticed the radar scope this morning has not looked very impressive, almost as if there is no precipitation occurring. That's because it's mostly drizzle out there. A thread...🧵 (1/8)
I'm looking forward to a warm-up for a few days 😊 But wind chills will be back in full force again next week! Here's some info on what the wind chill really means, and how it's calculated 🥶 #StormWatch7#WeatherLessonwjla.com/weather/stormwatch7…
I had a great school visit this afternoon with the 3rd graders from Bradley Hills Elementary School in Bethesda, MD. It's amazing we're all able to connect in this way from home, thanks for having me! #StormWatch7#WeatherLesson#BehindTheScenes@ABC7News
No, this isn't a "land-icane" spiraling across North TX. It's a Mesoscale Convective Vortex (MCV), a fancy way of saying an area of low pressure generated in the wake of a storm complex. Storm complexes can make their own areas of low pressure/spin! More: glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Me…
It's time for our next Project Tornado at Home weather lesson -- tune in with your kids tomorrow at 10am on the KWTX News 10 Facebook page to learn all about why the sky is blue! See you guys then for a fun lesson and experiment 😁 #weatherlesson#weatherhomeschool#homeschool
There are two main types of satellite picture, infrared and visible. The visible pic (Left) shows the cloud much better than the infrared (Right) because the temperature of the cloud is similar to the land. #Weatherlesson
Remember - this is the overall "winter" snow depth (total amount of old and freshly fallen snow), taken at a flat, open area (tee-box) - NOT what has fallen in the last day! Big meteorological difference between 24 hr "snowfall" and "snow-on-ground" measurements! #weatherlesson
We've shown this graphic before, but do you know what causes the different types of precipitation we see in winter? It all results from the depth of warm air aloft and in some cases, at the surface. #WinterSafety
