is a disturbed state of an astronomical body's
Atmosphere, especially affecting it surface, and
strongly implying
severe weather. It may be marked by strong
wind,
thunder and
lightning (a
thunderstorm),heavy
precipitation, such as
ice (ice
storm), or wind transporting some substance
through the
atmosphere (as in a
dust storm,
hailstorm, etc). Source:

dangerous. Lightning and strong winds are very
common during storms. Tornadoes and Hurricanes are
tow types of storms that occur often in the United

Forecasting
the Weather Weather forecasting is a
prediction of what the weather will
be like in an hour, tomorrow, or
next week. The people who study the
weather and make forecasts are
called meteorologists.
Meteorologists use special,
high-tech equipment to help them
make their forecasts. They use
symbolsto represent
information on the weather maps
because there is little room for all
of the information they need to
report. Additional information can
be found at
How meteorologists forecast weather,
and our
