Wacky Weather

Introduction

Dear future meteorologists,

Unfortunately here at WXII, some of our new meteorolgists seem to be confused about what causes different forms of weather. Can you help research causes of different weather phenomena and develop a presentation in which we can show to new meteorologists? Meteorologists must be knowledgable about the differents forms of weather and what causes different weather phenomena. We need your help! We don't want our new meteorologists sharing inaccurate information with our WXII viewers.

Thanks so much!

Sincerely,

Lisa Fulk

WXII News Director
