Learning the Science Behind the Weather
I’m a meteorology student based in Erie, PA, sharing my journey of learning how the atmosphere works. Here, I post what I’m studying, how I’m practicing forecasting, and what I’m discovering about weather paaterns.
My goal is to explore the science behind the weather and explain it in a way that everyone can understand. I’m still figuring things out and improving with every forecast, so nothing here is meant to sound like it’s coming from a professional meteorologist. This space is simply where I share what I’m learning about meteorology, forecasting, and what shapes the weather.
Atmospheric rivers are powerful streams of tropical moisture that can bring flooding, landslides, and major snow to the West Coast. Here’s a clear look at what they are, how they form, and why they matter.
