You probably would have been better off just checking a weather site to get this info.  Sorry...

Hurricane is affected by local conditions and it's diffiult to predict the path. However, we can see what has been typically the result based on various conditions of both the current and past similar hurricanes, and try to use that information to make an educated guess. With computer technology advancing, we have more information to fine tune the guesses and make them more accurate. But we'll never be able to 100% predict the weather or people's reaction to it.

A weather satellite takes pictures of the earth and the clouds.  Forecasters use these pictures to see where there are clouds, what type of clouds, and how they move.\n\nSatellite images are also used as in-data for numerical weather predictions (= computers simulate what will happen in the atmosphere in terms of temperature, humidity, wind, etc).\n\nSatellite pictures are not sufficient to predict the weather, no matter how often you would receive them.  Forecasters also use (for instance) radar images, surface observations, soundings, and numerical weather predictions.

Yahoo! Weather tells you that.

I think this is related to the so-called "pathetic fallacy": the idea that a person's moods are connected with the weather and so on.  (Nowadays, it doesn't seem like so much of a fallacy!)

Very key question.\n\nFor a start, try the US Government web site for emergency preparations ready.gov -- see link below.\n\nAlso important is the Red Cross site.\n\nA good idea is to buy a NOAA all-hazard weather radio at Walmart, Kmart, Target or Radio Shack. This will alert you to weather and other disaster conditions.\n\nGodspeed!

Because it's invisible air has to do something to get noticed.  Hence, air weather events.

No, it means that you should take your umbrella with you, because the humidity in the air, and the pressure system suggest it could rain.  Weather prediction isn't exact science, so basically... they never KNOW for a fact if it is raining or not... no matter what percent they give.

Actually, scientists understand a lot about tornadoes, but cannot completely predict them because they happen on such a micro-scale compared to other weather phenomenae.  Scientists can predict when conditions are favorable for tornadic activity (like when a tornado warning is issued), but can't predict excatly where one will occur until moments before hand.

It indicates a drop in pressure which usually means windy weather on the way and probably rain too.

Pressure changes affect the wind.  Temperature change determines whether it will rain or snow.

People always want to know the weather. AND they are always being harassed for being wrong, even though they do their jobs the best they can...wouldn't you ask for a raise?
