What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to severe storm forecasting. You will study thermodynamics, instability measures, and wind shear, linking them to storm structure, microphysics, and risks like hail, flash floods, and tornadoes. Gain skills in interpreting soundings, hodographs, radar, satellite imagery, and models to create 12-hour forecasts and issue precise warnings.
