Today, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited McAuliffe Elementary school and got to meet very excited third graders. They talked about the different kinds of weather that we see here in Colorado.
With Halloween being tomorrow, they all showed up for crazy hair day while learning about the different kinds of severe weather. They were all very smart and gave such great answers to the questions being asked.
Their eyes all lit up when we went over different experiments and got to see how thunderstorms work! Colorado will have some new scientists entering the field when they grow up!
