Madness School, WX 101, Remote J-Show

I wanted to point out several educational videos which have recently been created by AccuWeather or its viewers. First, I gave Henry a CD-ROM with our archived educational graphics and he's gone nuts with it, producing an excellent tutorial on how pulse-type thunderstorms form (PREMIUM | PRO) in the first of his "Meteo Madness School" series.

We've also recently started a series of videos in our Video Page (PREMIUM | PRO) which deliver educational tutorials. They go by different names based on content: Weather 101, Weather Folklore, Wacky Weather, Weather History, and Weather Wildcard.

Here are some examples of topics recently covered:

And last, but not least, the J-Show moniker has been taken co-opted remotely by Local Storm Chaser Ron Shawley to explain and demonstrate some basic weather principles, click below to view the videos:

Ron also has a tendency to call me during storms and ask me questions about the weather situation. Here's a list of videos that he has uploaded during storm chases where I'm on the phone:
