I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
I'm going to say "real". Shot with a wide lens and color enhanced in something like Photoshop. Great stuff!
Honestly, Gabrielle, I'm not a huge fan of seasonal outlooks. That said, here is a great resource from the good folks at the Climate Prediction Center: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ Thanks!
Hi Jerry-
Great choice! RadarScope is the best. I would start here: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/doppler/doppler_intro.htm
In addition to the products on the Radar Images page I would use the Vertically Integrated Liquid product, it is a good indicator of hail.
Also, here is a short video from the developer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUKzIeHtjho
Stay safe!
Interesting question. The weather (and climate) system is largely driven by uneven heating of the earth and has never really been in balance, so swings in patterns have always gone on and there is no real "normal". Also, things that don't happen regularly will affect the weather pattern, even a volcano eruption can limit incoming solar radiation over large areas.

Do you get annoyed when people use Groupons?
Dry Cleaner
Why do dry cleaners have autographed pictures on their walls?
Nightclub Promoter
Is bottle service worth the money, or is it a total scam?
Interesting question, Jay. I'm afraid that is out of my area of expertise. Might be a question for someone in the medical field.
Excellent question...and a very difficult one to answer. If we followed a raindrop from the a cloud to a puddle after a rainstorm and it evaporated right away we could say the cycle was only a few hours. A raindrop that fell in the southern Rocky Mountains might travel underground to the Rio Grande River and then the the Gulf of Mexico and evaporate there could take weeks or more. Very good question...great thinkers in your class! Keep up the good work!
The general storm pattern favors that this year, Anne. Air flows clockwise and toward the center of a low pressures area, so storms to your west, which some have been, produce a south wind.
