Weather Wonders on the Road: Bringing the Forecast to Big Country Classrooms

BIG COUNTRY, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Hi Big Country! I’m Carter Vandrasik, the Weekend Meteorologist for KRBC, and alongside Katalina Bell, the Weekend Meteorologist for KTAB, we’re excited to kick off another year of school visits across the Big Country!

Last year, we had such a great time meeting students, answering their questions, and bringing weather to life. This year, we’re looking to expand and visit even more classrooms and grade levels.

When we visit schools, I love chatting with students about storm safety and what it’s really like to be a meteorologist. I keep things interactive with fun discussions and games that engage everyone. Katalina brings the science to life with hands-on experiments that never fail to grab the students’ attention. They are always a hit!

We can meet with individual classrooms, but we especially love speaking with entire grade levels so more students can join in the fun.

If you’d like us to visit your school during the 2025–2026 school year, we’d love to hear from you!

And it’s not just schools! If you’re part of a local club or organization for students, we’d love to speak with you, too! Last year, we had the opportunity to meet with the Big Country 4-H Club, and we’d be happy to bring the same excitement to your group.

If you’re interested in a visit or want to learn more, feel free to reach out. We’d love to connect and make science come alive in your classroom!
