Storm Center 7′s Robert Gauthreaux showed children and adults alike all the capabilities of Storm Tracker 7.

Meteorologists in Storm Tracker have access to live radar, mobile weather station information and model data in the vehicle. They can accurately create forecasts and deliver them live from anywhere if needed from the vehicle.

The vehicle can deliver a live signal via Live U, which uses cell technology or a satellite dish.

The event was free and open to the public.
