I'm a Sophomore at Jasper High School in Plano, Texas who has been extremely interested in meteorology since Kindergarten. As a toddler, my experience with loud thunderstorms at night was the main kicker to my interest in the weather. During quarantine, I developed interest in looking at weather models in which I decided to create my own forecasts. During online school, we used to have class announcements each morning, and I created daily forecasts for my online class everyday for the announcements. During the infamous arctic outbreak 2021, I was spot on with predicting the opportunity for below zero temps a week away for the morning announcements. Seeing most of the models being amazingly consistent with the below zero temps is what had me confident in saying " there's a 10% chance we may get temps in the negatives on the morning of the 16th." The result was the 2nd coldest temperature ever recorded with a whopping -2 degrees Fahrenheit recorded at DFW airport During that time, I'd also filmed my own long range forecasts, and my 2020-21 winter forecast compared well to the overall summary during that winter. Middle school and on is when I started diving deep into studying meteorology.
