    Depends where you live I guess. We get severe thunderstorm warnings with none of the above lol heavy rain maybe but no hail or destructive winds other than rare occasions and never a tornado.

    To remember red shift, picture sound waves from a train that’s moving away from you. The waves get stretched out. Longer wavelength. On the visual spectrum, RED has the longest wavelength 〰️, while purple look like this: 𓆙 Light waves moving towards you will be compressed, not stretched out. The wavelength drops (more coiled) and they will be green (close to blue and purple, where short wavelengths live)

    Any chance you could cover handheld weather monitoring devices, like a kestrel. I'm trying to find someone to show how to determine if the weather will be getting worse or better using one.

    I had probably cobbled together 25% to 50% of this information with no actual validation of course. This closed so many gaps in my understanding of what I'm looking at, and not even though I know it is oversimplified and surface level / high level knowledge, I feel much more informed! Thank you so much for breaking this down in a way that is simple enough to understand by a lay person, but in depth enough to really help with the understanding!

    This is the vid that got me stared. I members when I was 11 thinking can you see a tornado on radar. Then I watched this, asked my Mon if I can get radar scope and she said yes. And now I have tracked many radar tornados and help us see where tornados are where we live

    Not even joking. I watched this full video and immediately opened my radar scope pro app and found a water spout in the Gulf of Mexico not even 2 minutes after finishing this video using the information you taught me.

    The way you explain how to read radar is so easy and simple to understand! I want to be a storm chaser later on in life, and this is honestly getting me there. But, I am NOT going out there till I know storm chaser safety, but at least I know how to read the basic of radar. Thank you for this video, it has helped me so much, and the next time a severe thunderstorm is hurling towards me, I'm going to immediately check reflectivity, velocity, and CC. If I see a hook echo, along with red moving away from green in a coupling, and I see a debris ball, I'll know there's a strong tornado lofting debris! If not, then I'm probably fine. (:

    This is truly fascinating to watch! My hometown, Mendon, had a tornado touch down nearby. I remember I was bolting back and forth from our front and back door, keeping an eye on the clouds. After seeing the videos of the tornado touching down, I had chills in my spine. If you haven't seen those videos I highly recommend it, I believe we had a bit of "Dead Man Walking" before it merged into one. It may not have been that, but there were multiple vortices as it started. Thank you for your videos, these are amazing to watch!

    I am curious as to which angle do you normally look at signatures is it best to use 0.5* ? also do you also use storm-relative velocity in conjunction with CC and reflectivity and at what degree angle?
