A new study shows how often lightning strikes and how it behaves, often hitting the ground with multiple strikes from the same flash.
Researchers are turning to computer models, drones and other methods to improve tornado forecasting.
Fires today are hotter and more destructive, thanks in part to a warming climate.
Would you trust a weather forecast made by a machine that had learned how weather systems behaved by reviewing thousands of past weather maps?
Studies show tornadoes are getting more common and more intense, and they’re shifting eastward to a new tornado hot spot.
Extended periods of rain are most likely found in locations where mountains are near oceans.
Forecasters described it as a ‘historical weather day.’ An atmospheric scientist who was at the heart of the storms explains what happened.
Powerful winds hit a large part of the US, fueling tornadoes in Iowa, fires in Kansas and hurricane-force gusts in Colorado. An atmospheric scientist who was in the storms explains what happened.
Monsoons are weather patterns that bring thunderstorms and heavy rains to hot, dry areas when warm, moist ocean air moves inland. They’re challenging to forecast, especially in a changing climate.
