NWS Hot Seat. Campers got to play a game in which they had to forecast storms correctly before the storm spotters located the storms. They got to see the Meteorology Lab in Bessey room 105. This room is filled with computers and TV monitors which display current radar and satellite images, and the current forecast models.
