Introduction

I've chosen the topic of weather forecast techniques for this blog assignment because I feel like everyone is effected by the weather, yet understanding it is something that has slipped through the grasp of most. As a meteorologist for the past ten years I feel that this will be a great place for me to share some of the knowledge that I have gained in my time in this field of study. Not only that, but it will serve as a place I myself can visit from time to time to refresh my memories and remain sharp when it comes to basic tasks.
As I mentioned, I have been a meteorologist for the past ten years. I joined the Air Force in February 2001 and received my formal training at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi and at Travis Air Force Base in California. Over the years I've had the great privilege of working with some fantastic meteorologists who have shared many techniques and much knowledge on how to accurately forecast the weather. I just hope that I can convey the information that they bestowed upon me with the same confidence and precision that they possessed when they trusted me with their wisdom.
