Predicting the Weather Why is predicting the weather important? Why is accuracy in predicting the weather important? Are weather predictions always accurate? - let’s talk about forecasts What is Meteorology? The collection, study, analysis, and reporting of weather data. People that study the weather are called Meteorologist. What are some things that Meteorologist do? Data Collection Information from weather stations are collected and turned into models, maps and symbols. Here is an example of a weather symbol Weather Symbols Let’s Practice Analyzing Meteorology Data Fronts Fronts Fronts Fronts Cloud Types There are four main cloud types: Cumulus Cirrus Stratus Nimbus 1.

Types of Severe Weather Thunderstorms Hurricanes Tornadoes Other (Flood and Droughts) Stages of a Thunderstorm Developing Stage Mature Stage Dissipating Stage Updraft (carrying Moisture) Developing Stage Warm, moist air Developing Stage Cooler air Updraft Cumulus Cloud Warm, moist air Developing Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Cooler air Updraft Cumulus Cloud Warm, moist air Mature Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Updraft (continues to grow with droplets of water and ice) Warm, moist air Mature Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Cumulonimbus Cloud Downdraft Updraft (continues to grow with droplets of water and ice) Lightning High Winds Hail Flash Floods Dissipating Stage Cumulonimbus Cloud Downdraft Updraft Cumulonimbus Cloud Dissipating Stage Downdraft Updraft Cumulonimbus Cloud Once the downdraft has become more powerful than the updraft the storm dissipates Tornadoes - Formation - Characteristics - Damage Tornadoes Hurricanes Formation of Hurricanes Tracking Hurricanes Other Severe Weather Causes and Effects of: Droughts Floods Winter Weather Have a Plan Make sure to complete this interactive in the lesson to learn about preparedness during severe weather.
