How do thunderstorms form? Did you know that they need moisture, instability and lift? What is the doppler radar like that monitors the storms? How far out can they "see?" Does the National Weather Service go home at night, or do they work round the clock? How do they interface with the FCC licensed radio stations? What about safety concerns when bad weather comes our way? Are you prepared? Today we talk with the Lead Meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS in Albany, NY.
