SOUTHERN COLORADO (KOAA) — Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Falcon Aerolab in Peyton to talk about how weather affects the field of aviation. Lauren talked with them about severe weather that we experience across Colorado from winter storms to tornadoes.
Next, Lauren went to Pueblo to talk to first graders at South Park Elementary. They were amazed that tornadoes can occur in the mountains. They knew exactly what to do during severe weather and feel even more prepared when these events happen. They also talked about their personal experiences with weather right in their very own backyard.
