How Hail Forms

This video is a basic overview of how hail forms in a thunderstorm. Typically, the larger the hail, the more damage it might cause!

Severe hail is considered anything about quarter sized or larger.

There are some main types of clouds in our atmosphere and this video covers just that. This video represents the very first whiteboard animation I've done and while there's a learning curve, they are fun to do!

From thermometers to wind vanes, learn all about these weather instruments as well as other common weather instruments that Meteorologists use.

Winter is complicated, and so is the precipitation. From rain to sleet to freezing rain to snow, this video gives a brief overview of what's going on the atmosphere to allow for each type to occur.  

Some winter storms bring lots of snow, others - not so much!  Here's a quick look at some of the most common low pressure tracks and common areas of snow accumulation with each one. 

This one is all about the very basics of forecasting and I mean the VERY basics. A forecast process video from start to finish would be far too lengthy, but this gives you a good idea of what Meteorologists generally have to look at on a daily basis, at minimum. 

Enjoy this fun animation about the very basics of our water cycle. It's amazing the journey that water can take!

Pressure systems (H's and L's) are seemingly all over the weather maps these days, but what do they actually mean? And how do they work? This video addresses a brief overview of pressure systems and how the wind flows around them.

I titled this one "our" on purpose. Our atmosphere is shared, and critical to life as we know it on this planet. We all have a responsibility to take care of it. This video is all about our atmosphere. Learn all about the layers of our atmosphere, how high they extend and what our atmosphere is made of. 

If you are a Midwesterner especially, fronts are part of life and you need to understand them. This little animation goes through the four main types of fronts, what they look like on a weather map and what type of weather they usually bring.

Plan to learn about how clouds form including not just the water vapor that's crucial to the cloud, but a little microscopic "extra" piece of the puzzle!

Here's a fun little video that explains why the sky is blue (and other colors, especially around sunrise and sunset). Please give it a watch and let me know what you think!
