All about the wind: WCNC Charlotte Weather School

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The WCNC Weather School is back in session with a free, educational science class about equipment used to observe the weather.

Monday's lesson from forecaster Larry Sprinkle is all about the wind. Larry will discuss what causes wind, how it changes directions and the impact it has on a forecast.

WCNC Charlotte's First Warn Storm Team is helping parents, students, and teachers learn from home with free atmospheric science lessons that can be seen each weekday on the streaming platforms of WCNC Charlotte.

The lessons, which will stream live starting at 1 p.m., will feature a variety of weather lessons and explainers hosted by the WCNC Charlotte weather team.
