Mountain wave turbulence isn’t always visible—but in aviation, it can be one of the most powerful forces pilots encounter.

Most severe atmospheric motion is invisible. Mountain wave turbulence forms when strong winds hit terrain, creating downstream waves that cause turbulence, rapid wind shifts, and strong vertical motion. Hazardous for aviation—even in clear skies. #AviationMeteorology

Dr. Austin takes a morning off to make few runs at Mt. Rose Ski Resort near Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Weather records can have gaps. Atmospheric modeling helps connect the missing pieces.

On March 18, 1960, meteorologist John R. Winckler released a research balloon from a glider over Minnesota to study cosmic radiation and upper-atmosphere conditions. Creative experiments like this helped scientists better understand the stratosphere. #WeatherHistory #Meteorology

Brad Grant, one of WeatherExtreme's experts took this photo graph. It's a view from the south of a large supercell that moved across central Oklahoma on Mar. 9. Hail up to 2.75 in. diameter was reported along the path of the storm .

Mark Twain is famously credited with this quote, which highlights the difference between long-term averages and daily conditions.

On this day in 1942 daylight saving time was put into effect across the United States to conserve resources during WW1. Congress pushed ahead standard time by one hour in each time zone, imposing daylight saving time —called at the time "War Time"
