This week, the Carolina Weather Group is kicking off a new multi-part series talking to our industry’s rising stars. You’re going to hear from 12 atmospheric science students currently studying at college programs across the United States: What drove these kids into weather? How did they pick their schools? And what do they hope to accomplish in their career?

We talked with these students across multiple recording sessions but what you’ll see is a little bit from all of them.
