On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Palmer Lake and Venetucci Elementary School.
She spoke with some kindergartners at Palmer Lake Elementary where they have been learning about different weather conditions. They even knew how thunderstorms form! They were very enthusiastic about her visit and loved doing the weather dance with her.
Afterwards, Lauren visited some second graders at Venetucci Elementary School. They talked about winter safety kits and where to go during a severe storm. They loved talking about tornadoes and severe weather. Many had interesting weather stories to share with Lauren.
