MSU's Severe Storms Symposium

The East Mississippi Chapter of the NWA/AMS hosed the eleventh annual Severe Storms Symposium, and it was a huge success! We had distinguished speakers like John Gordon and Kevin Knupp and many other informative and insightful guests.

I was also lucky enough to be asked to design a weather cake for the event, and here it is. This is what we call a "four-panel". It shows different products of RADAR such as Base Reflectivity (top left), Base Velocity (top right), Vertically Integrated Liquid (bottom right), and Correlation Coefficient (bottom left). All of these products are used by meteorologists during severe weather events to locate potential tornadoes and hail.
It took a little over 10 hours to complete, but it was so worth it. I was very thankful for all of the kind remarks from the NWA, AccuWeather, MemphisWeather.net, and personal accounts on Twitter and Facebook.

Hope everyone has a great week! See my next post for an update on this chilly, winter-like weather we've been seeing across the Southeast this week.
