March 25, 2022 marks one year after the killer EF-4 tornado tore through Newnan, GA. The AthensGaWeather broadcasting team, composed of Atmospheric Sciences undergraduates in the Geography department, was one of the many broadcasting studios to livestream coverage of the tornado, saving the lives of at least two people in the Newnan area, according to the people themselves. "My husband was already asleep when the sirens went off, and I heard…

The Fort Stewart Fire Research Campaign was an integrative research effort that collected data on Fire Behavior, Fuels, and Smoke during a series of prescribed burns at Fort Stewart.

Parts of Colorado received almost 2 feet of snow at the beginning of summer.

After devoting countless hours toward her thesis project, masters student Emily Pauline was prepared to graduate at the May 10 commencement ceremony.

But the likelihood of this happening is “shrinking by the day,” she said. Due to the longest government shutdown in history, reaching day 33 as of press time, graduating this semester may not be an option for Pauline as she may have to extend her research to the summer.

I saw a Tweet stating that the fog in Atlanta will "burn off" later in the day. This is a very common saying, but it also ranks up there with other little sayings that bug me as an meteorologist and atmospheric sciences professor.
