We're taking a breather for the first part of the week. The next round of severe weather will hold off until Wednesday night - when the central plains will get hit with a couple of tornadoes and some large hail. Until we will be catching up on studies.

We're toying with something big and bold for 2009 - a big six week educational blow-out starting in June. It will be for college juniors, seniors and post grads. We'll bring in meteorologists with at least 15 years of experience. and for six weeks we'll unleash our wisdom using realtime weather events and case studies. We're thinking of having 6 or 7 hour days, four or five days a week. The brainpower won't be cheap to bring in, so the cost may be on the order of $500 to $1,000 a week for the six weeks. But, we think we might be able to offer a scholarship for the top two students - $10,000 to the university of their choice.

Again, its all in the planning stage. Let us know if you might be interested at metcenter at rapidwx.com .
