This website accompanies the radio program "Wild West Texas Weather" developed as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation, focused on the origin of rotation in tornadoes.  The radio program consists of roughly 2 minute "vignettes" introducing interesting weather phenomena encountered in West Texas.  The program is spear-headed by Johannes Dahl of the Storm Dynamics Group (Atmospheric Science Group/Department of Geosciences at TTU) and Derrick Ginter of the college radio station, KTXT 88.1 the Raider.

​

On the topics page, you may select the different weather phenomena, learn more about them, and listen to the radio broadcasts.
