Sudden summer severe storms and frigid, lake-effect blizzards…The weather of Northeast Wisconsin is as unpredictable as it is powerful. Why does our region experience such extreme, four-season swings, and how have historical weather events shaped our communities? From the Neville Public Museum's Spectacular Science: Weather exhibit, this program explores the unique meteorological forces that create our climate and the science behind Wisconsin’s most dramatic historic weather events.
Join museum curator James Peth as he uncovers the science and historic storms that have defined Northeast Wisconsin's skies.
