My current research largely consists of small projects that culminate in features that run as part of the WxYz (WeatherWhys) series on Weather World, the department’s weekday weather magazine show. Two recent examples include a feature on May dry spells in Pennsylvania and an updated tornado climatology of Pennsylvania. An archive of more than 600 of these features can be found here.
