Science On Tap 3/25 In Portland: Storm Chasing In The PNW (Photo)
- 03/09/26
Date: Wed, March 25th, 2026
Time: 7 pm
Location: Alberta Rose Theatre
Tickets: $15-$45
Event Website: scienceontaporwa.org/events/alberta_mar_25_storm-chasing/
Extreme conditions are rare in the Pacific Northwest, but when the forecast hints at chaos, a small but dedicated group of storm chasers and weather geeks across the northwest spring into action, ready to capture the extraordinary.
Join us as we explore the most extreme weather that the Pacific Northwest has to offer through the lens of meteorologist and storm chaser Garret Hartung, including strong southerly windstorms, atmospheric rivers, cold core tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods, heavy snow, freezing rain, and extreme east wind events.
- What makes these events unique to the PNW?
- Why do we often miss out on some of the more extreme weather events seen elsewhere in the US?
- What makes storm chasing here so particularly difficult?
Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, drink a pint, and enjoy learning. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don't have to be a science geek to have fun--all you need is a thirst for knowledge! For more information on this event or about Science on Tap, visit Science on Tap OR WA.
