My name is Alex and I dedicate a large portion of my time towards studying as many aspects of the atmosphere as I can. My general area of expertise lies in severe weather including tornadoes, thunderstorms and hurricanes. As soon as I am able to, I plan to take part in research projects across Tornado Alley.

  • ***MS/LA TORNADO WATCH in effect***?

    There is an 80% probability of having 2 or more tornadoes with this watch, and a 40% prob. of one or more strong tornadoes.

    THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN NUMBER AND INTENSITY ACROSS WRN MS WITH APPROACH OF STRONG UPPER TROUGH. DEEPENING SURFACE LOW SERN AR WILL TRACK NEWD INTO NRN MS WITH ENHANCEMENT OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR IN WARM SECTOR ACROSS MUCH OF MS. SUPERCELLS INCLUDING TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BECOME LIKELY BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND DEVELOP EWD ACROSS WATCH AREA.

    *Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or local radio or television stations for updated information.

    * Be alert to changing weather conditions. Tornadoes accompany severe thunderstorms, and weather conditions can change rapidly. Large hail, blowing debris, or the sound of an approaching tornado may alert you. Many people say approaching tornadoes sound like a freight train.

  • When applying for a job at the NWS or the NSSL...?

    Does it make a difference where I received my meteorology degree? Would the chances of getting a job increase if I got my degree at a more well known college rather than at a lesser known college, perhaps one that is not as accredited, even if my grades were the same and I fulfilled all other requirements?

  • ****NASHVILLE POTENTIAL TORNADO****A tornadic supercell..?

    A tornadic supercell is headed directly towards Nashville, if anyone lives in Nashville seek shelter immediately. A tornado has been spotted SW of Nashville moving NE. Head indoors, go into a basement or the lowest floor and put as many walls between you and the outside. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?product=N0R&rid...
