COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited some kindergartners at The Colorado Springs School near the Broadmoor. They were so excited for her to visit and had so many questions for her.
They talked about winter storms and how to stay safe during severe weather. Towards the end they got to learn the weather dance!
They asked some great questions like "How does wind form?" and "Where do tornadoes come from?"
