WeatherBug is powered by WeatherNet, a network of 6,000 weather stations located in schools across the U.S. As part of the interactive learning experience, we' ve asked the WeatherNet Classroom students to submit questions to the WeatherBug Storm Chasers. Each day we'll post a new question and answer.
