Shel Winkley is a meteorologist affiliated with Climate Central, a non-profit research organization focused on climate change and its impacts on weather patterns. He has been actively studying the relationship between climate change and severe weather, particularly in the context of the increased frequency and intensity of thunderstorms and tornadoes in the United States. Winkley has been in the news for his insights on how warmer ocean temperatures, especially in the Gulf of Mexico, contribute to the conditions that lead to more extreme weather events, including the recent deadly tornado outbreaks.
