About two weeks ago I witnessed what I believe to be a waterspout on a relatively small lake near my home in sw Wisconsin. It appeared out of ominous clouds that were bringing in a pretty severe storm. Do waterspouts happen on inland lakes?

Yup! Any body of water. Glad you got to see one! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterspout

hey is this a real person

Asked by Mike almost 9 years ago

Yes. But some would disagree.

I heard somewhere about it but maybe I heard wrong. IDK but I guess it was a thing in the past but I have never heard of it recently. Like Tornado Alert. Sorry that I did not provide very much information on the last question.

Asked by Carlene about 7 years ago

No problem. Thanks for the information. It could be that a local weather source is using that term. “Officially” the term used by the National Weather Service is a tornado warning, and in some extreme situations a tornado emergency. Thanks again!

What is the process you go through in order to keep individuals updated on the weather?

Asked by Lynn over 9 years ago

We use the weather forecast models and the other tools mentioned in your other question to generate a forecast and then use television, radio and social media to share information.

At what altitude does the weathermen on tv report the wind speeds. Example..5m or 500m?

Asked by Reyna over 8 years ago

Hi, Reyna. Standard anemometer height is 10 meters.

Here in Lake County, Illinois (Zion) we have had nothing that resembles winter. No snow. No slick roads. No dangerous windchill conditions. Most daytime temperatures are above freezing. Next to nothing for rain. What is going on here?

Asked by Clarence about 9 years ago

I usually answer this questions like this. I really don't like the use of the word "normal" in weather. "Average" is better. Over simplified, if the "normal temperature for this date is 75 degrees and we look a the records for the last 100 years. In theory half of those years the temperature could have been 50 degrees and half 100 degrees. The "normal" is 75 but it was never 75. So, there are swings in the global weather patterns constantly you're at one end of the swing! Hope that makes sense.

Hello. My boss has asked me to find out the amount of snowfall in a 5 day span in January 2016. Any idea on how can I get this info?

Asked by Erin about 8 years ago

Hi, Erin. I’d go to weather.gov (not .com). Click on your area of the map and it will take you to the local National Weather Service office and you’ll see phone and email on the bottom. Good luck.
