Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a meteorologist or how scientists are able to predict severe weather events? Meteorologist Jason Laney from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service in El Paso, Texas will lead a discussion of atmospheric science and introduce ways you can anticipate and respond to weather events. Jason coordinates the public weather warnings and leads storm spotter training and the Skywarn Program empowering community members to identify and prepare for all types of weather.
