About Nora
Dr. Nora Lindqvist is PNN's meteorologist and the person at the desk who can explain why. A climate scientist by training, she runs the PNN Weather Center from her map wall and fills in at The Science Desk with the day's strangest discoveries.
She's calm in a storm, literally, and has a gift for turning a radar loop into a story anyone can follow. She'll tell you what's coming, how sure she is, and what to actually do about it.
She joined PNN in October, which the desk says was the first time anyone at the station used the word "methodology" correctly.
