From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: Speaking of levels as we have the last couple of weeks, so what is a ceiling? And I do not mean the roof over your head kind. There is a ceiling when dealing with weather which is pretty important to aviation. So just what is it and how is it determined? Plus a little extra bonus of how it was used wrong in a movie.
This Week in Weather History: Bill Murray looks way back in weather history to the days of the Signal Corps. And can you believe there once was a ban on using the word tornado because it might cause panic? Bill has the whole story.
