From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: A fascinating aspect of the weather encompasses clouds. They come in all shapes and sizes and levels and colors. A recent Central Alabama storm event for Dr. Tim and the professor resulted in a real treat with some great examples of pileus clouds. So this week it’s a peek into what makes these clouds and some of their characteristics.
TWIWH: Bill Murray takes a look at the week of February 25th. This week features some activities to hopefully prepare people for what the spring months can bring. And the topic of tornadoes is one that crops up again and again, so being prepared is very important as one Arkansas story reveals.
