ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - In this week’s Weather Lab, Chief Meteorologist Melissa Frey takes us to Ptarmigan Elementary School.
After learning more about hurricanes and tornadoes, the differences between hot and cold air, and what makes Alaska’s weather so unique, the third-grade classes took the chance to ask Melissa their weather questions, including why does lightning form, how many storms are there, and how do snowstorms happen?
Melissa answers their questions in this week’s weather lab.
