Angela Rowe talks about a study into Argentina’s weather patterns that feature some of the most intense storms in the world at the next Sequim Science Café, set for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12, at Paradise Restaurant, 703 N. Sequim Ave.

Rowe, a research scientist with the University of Washington’s Department of Atmospheric Sciences, will talk about the international RELAMPAGO field campaign, an effort including scientists from the U.S., Argentina and Brazil in analyzing Argentina’s extreme weather and why residents in the Pacific Northwest should care about these intense Southern Hemisphere thunderstorms.

Event organizers encourage attendees to arrive by 6 p.m. if they want to enjoy a meal and socialize; seating is limited.

The event is sponsored by the Sequim Education Foundation. The group’s mission is “to be a catalyst for vibrant growth of each student in the Sequim community.”
