CLEVELAND — Welcome to the weather classroom! We're ready to help you learn -- even if schools are currently closed.

3News meteorologist Jason Frazer loves science and doing school visits. Recently, he kicked off an online series helping kids better understand meteorology. He’s going to be doing weather lessons about a variety of topics including wind, temperature, tornadoes and hurricanes. These lessons are geared to children who are 9 years old and older. He welcomes your questions, too. You can e-mail him directly at JFrazer@WKYC.com or you can contact him on Facebook or Instagram at @JasonFrazerTV.

In Jason's final weather lesson, Jason reviews some odd weather phenomena that you may have seen or heard. Jason breaks down what a haboob is and how they form. He also breaks down virga and why it happens.
