CLEVELAND — Welcome to the weather classroom! We're ready to help you learn -- even if schools are currently closed.
3News meteorologist Jason Frazer loves science and doing school visits. Recently, he kicked off an online series helping kids better understand meteorology. He’s going to be doing weather lessons about a variety of topics including wind, temperature, tornadoes and hurricanes. These lessons are geared to children who are 9 years old and older. He welcomes your questions, too. You can e-mail him directly at JFrazer@WKYC.com or you can contact him on Facebook or Instagram at @JasonFrazerTV.
NOTE: Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this story for links to more of Jason's weather lessons.
During this lesson, Jason reviews what makes hail different than sleet and graupel. He also tells us what exactly hail is and how large it can grow. "Hail Alley" includes Nebraska and Colorado. Each year, these states will see seven to nine days of hailstorms, which can cause millions of dollars in damage.
A handout for today’s lesson can be found here:
