Meteorology At Work... Literally


June 9, 2009

Today was a very busy day. I got into work early, after working last night until almost midnight. I was given a detailed assignment with a short window of completion and it needed to get done…

Our bosses took us out to lunch, which was real cool. We went to a Thai restaurant, and I ordered an entree with chicken. It was indicated to be spicy, and I like to turn up the heat at times so, why not? When I was served my food, it was tangy with a brown sugar coating on the chicken. The broccoli was pretty good (don’t tell my mom) I have to admit.

The weather this afternoon was the topic of discussion. One of the employees told me that The Weather Channel has our area receiving rain around 7:00 this evening. Well, I looked at some models and a few radars, and noticed that the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued a severe storm warning for our area. I said it would start to rain/storm (and possibly hail) between 5:00 – 5:30. It started at 5:17 as I was leaving the office.

While conjuring up a forecast, I was also working on another outreach program for local businesses.
