Seems to happen on weekends

Tropical storm activity increased again this weekend so we'll be adding another named storm to our tracking maps on Monday. Interestingly, Monday is also the peak date for hurricane season and there are now 3 tropical disturbances developing that we should monitor.

I want to give you a heads up that you have a test on hurricanes coming up. Of course all of you are going to want to do some additional studying and I've made it easy. Here's a link to a great site that I think you'll enjoy and also learn from. Try it out and let me know what you think.

When you go to the site you'll see an image like that below. You will have to register in order to view the activities. Clicking on the image below will also take you to the site.







Here's another way you can study for the test -- read pages 9 and 11 in your notebooks and view the videos listed below. These are the same videos we watched in class.

• The Science Behind Hurricanes
