Duration: 60 Minutes
We at Weather Central need your help. An air show and fireworks display are planned at Dayton, OH. These events will be held only if the weather is OK. The air show will be held at 2 p.m. The fireworks will start at 8 p.m. Event officials have asked us for timely, accurate weather forecasts. They will use our reports to decide whether to hold these events.
Several conditions determine the weather: air pressure, fronts, temperature, dew point, winds, and clouds. As a meteorologist, you use maps, graphs, and charts to study these conditions. Then you make a prediction.
Storm-e is an engaging, culminating event to any weather unit. The classroom becomes a command center of experts to make weather predictions. Air pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind data is analyzed by your team of experts and they are asked to help make decisions to hold or cancel outdoor events based on maps, charts, graphs, and satellite images provided to each team.
