On Wednesday, Meteorologist Alex O'Brien visited Baca Elementary School in Pueblo. She spoke with the 3rd graders about severe weather safety in southern Colorado and about being a meteorologist.
The students had just completed their weather unit in school, so they were able to apply their knowledge while learning how to be safe during dangerous weather.
They were a great audience and had some really great questions for Alex at the end of the presentation.
