Info for a noob

[Spotthetarget]

I have been searching for books, dvd's and computer programs that could better help my understanding of Severe Weather. I started chasing last year with only feeble knowledge of how to use grl3. After taking the Storm Spotter class this year I decided that I must have a better understanding in order to have a chance of actually seeing tornadic activity.

If anyone could point me in the right in the right direction I'd be very appreciative.

Thank You,

There is a sticky at the top of this forum with a good list of learning resources. Mike Hollinghead's Storm Structure 101 is also a really good DVD filled with basic severe weather info and forecasting tools as well as a couple of chases.

Thank you very much. I guess I should have searched the site a little better.

I'm taking MetEd's Summer Severe Weather course right now, and have completed the first three Principles Of Convection.

If you have the time to devote to it, some really good stuff there. I plan to knock out this course, and do Mesoscale Meterology, for starters.

This looks to be a good start. I'm signed up for this class as well. I really like the fact that you can go at your own pace and really let the info sink in before advancing on to the next subject. With an estimated completion time of about 20 hours for the entire course, I'm sure that there will definitely be some really good and in-depth material here.
