Meteorology 101

Due to the topography, the weather in the Shenandoah Valley can be unique. We begin with some basic meteorology, learning about warm and cold fronts, and basic weather concepts from the jet stream to low and high pressure. Then we move on to severe weather, tropical weather, and winter weather. Each topic will include history and specifics for the Shenandoah Valley. Finally, we cover forecasting in general and for the area.
