Thunderstorms & Weather Radar-Webinar

Thunderstorms & Weather Radar

March 12, 2025 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (Eastern)

Thunderstorms can quickly spoil an outing. The presentation will examine the types of thunderstorms and the ingredients that lead to their formation. We’ll also cover a wide range of resources for predicting thunderstorm development. Once thunderstorms are underway, the best resource for monitoring their movement and evolution is Doppler Weather Radar. In this portion of the presentation, you’ll learn how Doppler weather radar works (along with a few of its quirks) and how it can be used to monitor the development, intensity, and speed of approaching thunderstorms. Reduce your chances of a hair-raising or wind-swept encounter with severe weather by attending this presentation.
