Hey, thank you so much for answering my question! Just one more, can say for example a local office wanted to put out a tornado watch and the SPC did not. Could they if they really wanted to?

Asked by Donovin over 6 years ago

Nope. Watch must come from SPC. They stay in close contact with the local offices. Thanks.

When will we see more settled, drier weather in the West of Scotland in particular?

Asked by Craig Gillon about 6 years ago

Hi, Craig. Europe weather and climate is pretty far out of my area of expertise. You might have better luck with the UK Met Office. Good luck. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/

Have you ever seen a red tornado?

Asked by Dave about 6 years ago

In pictures, yes. A few that have traveled over an open area of red dirt that the tornado picked turned it red. Thanks, Dave!

Did you wanted to be a meteorologist as a kid? Were you drawn by seeing the weatherman on TV or did you dream about chasing storms and tornadoes?

Asked by Ladyoasis almost 6 years ago

My interest in the sky didn’t really develop until I was in my 20s. Don’t think I really knew that meteorology was a possible career when I was a kid. A lesson for parents and those around kids to watch for interests and feed them. Thanks for asking.

How do you know whether a weather siren that is blaring is just being tested in the area or if it is an actual weather emergency warning

Asked by Bonnie Faires over 6 years ago

Tests are only done on fair weather days. Usually one day each month, like the first Monday of something like that, and at a regular repeating time. Your local county emergency management office can tell you when the tests are for your area. If it is a stormy day and the siren goes off it is likely a warning. Great question!

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

Asked by Jamie almost 6 years ago

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

What do you honestly think about HAARP?

Asked by Jake over 6 years ago
