Ready to be weather aware? Meteorologist Hannah Fink will present a “Hurricane Season 101” class covering how hurricanes form, are tracked, and forecast to keep communities safe.

The class will also cover hurricane structure, the Saffir-Simpson scale, and why hazards like storm surge and flooding often pose the greatest risk. Finally, she’ll highlight how meteorologists use tools like satellites, radar, aircraft, and computer models to track storms and why staying updated with reliable forecasts is essential.
