Talk About the Weather

For Gulf Coast residents, the weather isn't just the subject of idle conversation, it's what we do. (Ask Katrina and Rita.) It's no surprise, then, that the John C. Freeman Weather Museum, the country's first, opens in Houston today. Interactive experiments and exhibits such as "Touch a Tornado" let you in on the suction, uh, action. Stand in front of the blue screen and predict rain like the pros in "Be Your Own Weatherman," or check out "Weather Forecasting Through History" for some perspective on the ever-changing science we just can't seem to stop talking about.
Sat., April 22, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
