Hurricane Prediction
- Host Frank Stasio will talk with Lackmann about this new technology and the changing science of hurricane prediction.
Scientists are predicting up to 16 major storms this hurricane season. But what happens once a hurricane does develop is much more difficult for scientists to predict. Gary M.
