For three years, a new way to use data collected by NOAA weather satellites has been giving North Alabama short-term warnings of “pop-up” thunderstorms.Developed by scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, this new computer program is now spreading to other parts of the U.S. and the world. Later this summer a version of the UAHuntsville weather program will begin forecasting storms throughout Central America, Southern Mexico and the Dominican Republic….
