On Wednesday, Meteorologist Alex O'Brien visited students across southern Colorado to teach them about severe weather in Colorado.

Then, she spoke with the 2nd graders at Desert Sage Elementary in Pueblo West. Some of the 2nd graders today remembered when Alex presented to them virtually when they were in kindergarten.
