Pressure Drop

Every episode

Three questions, answered in order

Each video starts from something real and dated: an outlook just issued, a record just broken, a storm still spinning. Then it answers three questions, one at a time.

QUESTION 1

What is happening?

The event itself, on today's satellite loop: where it is, how strong, and what the forecasters say about it this week.

QUESTION 2

How does it work?

The mechanism, drawn step by step: warm water feeding a storm, a jet stream bending south, a cold front sliding under warm air.

QUESTION 3

What comes next?

Region by region, with dated checkpoints you can verify yourself, and one practical step for anyone in the path.
