What will I learn?
The Cumulonimbus Course gives you a focused, practical path to mastering severe storm forecasting. Explore thermodynamics, instability metrics, and wind shear, then connect them to storm structure, microphysics, and hazards like hail, flash flooding, and tornadoes. Learn to read soundings, hodographs, radar, satellite, and model guidance, build 12-hour scenarios, and communicate clear, confident warnings in high-impact situations.
