A nice start to our Weekend so far has fortunately graced the Tennessee Valley – now, we have still been cool, with our highs today getting into the mid-upper 50s, but that is certainly manageable for this time of year, especially given that we’ve gotten rid of that chilly wind that made the last few […]

Friday marked a two-fold celebration in Huntsville for Meteorologists in the Tennessee Valley as UAH celebrated 10 years since the establishment of SWIRLL – the Severe Weather Institute and Radar & Lightning Laboratories – and the beginning of a partnership with the Doppler on Wheels team, known best for their decades of groundbreaking tornado research,

The Doppler on Wheels team, headed by Josh Wurman & Karen Kosiba, announced Wednesday on the FARM website the establishment of a new partnership with the University of Alabama Huntsville.

Over the last several days, the small town of Ruidoso, New Mexico has faced an onslaught wind, fire, and rain, unfortunately thus far culminating in

The next generation of weather observation satellites continues on next week with the upcoming launch of GOES-U. For the last 50 years, NOAA has operated a family of Geostationary (that is, rotating once ever 24 hours, appearing to “hover” over one spot) satellites solely dedicated to monitoring the entire weather patterns across the entirety of
