Crazy temperature roller coaster!
Thanks to WeatherNation meteorologist Todd Nelson for passing along this incredible graphic showing 24 hour temperature changes. People living in Pierre, South Dakota must be feeling a little frazzled right about now - a 48 degree temperature plunge in less than one day! We tend to see our most extreme temperature changes in March and April, setting the stage for epic storms, floods and major tornado outbreaks.
Welcome to my weather blog. Every day I sift through hundreds of stories, maps, graphics and meteorological web sites, trying to capture some of the most interesting weather nuggets, the stories behind the forecast. I'll link to stories and share some of the web sites I use.
I'm still passionate about the weather, have been ever since Tropical Storm Agnes flooded my home in Lancaster, PA in 1972. I've started 5 weather-related companies. "EarthWatch" created the world's first 3-D weather graphics for TV stations - Steven Spielberg used our software in "Jurassic Park" and "Twister". My last company, "Digital Cyclone", personalized weather for cell phones. "My-Cast" was launched in 2001 and is still going strong on iPhone, Android and Blackberry. I sold DCI to Garmin in 2007 so I could focus on my latest venture: WeatherNation.
