The 7th Annual National Storm Chasers Convention is coming to Denver from February 18-20th!
Speakers include: Dr. Al Bedard, Dr. Erik Rasmussen, Dr. Howie Bluestein, Dr. Josh Wurman, Dr. Greg Forbes, Tim Marshall, Tim Vasquez, Scott Blair, Jim Reed, Jim Edds, John Davies, and more.
Complete details and registration is available at: http://chaserconvention.com/site/
Last year, I attended Tim Vasquez's Severe Weather Forecasting class after the convention. While it was very informative, it's definitely NOT for the uninitiated! I have taken the Meteorology and Climatology undergrad courses at Colorado State University, and was a little rusty in the class. If you want to go, definitely bone up on your map skills (identifying and drawing front lines from isobar readings, etc.)
Not sure if I'll be able to go at all this year, as I'm starting a new job on the 21st, but more on that later...
If you want some local involvement with weather reporting, you should also check out CoCoRAHS! There is also a great article on CoCoRAHS at: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/weather/4157645/detail.html
