Your current major is a fine major to have if you want to go to grad school in the area of atmospheric science. My degree is technically "geoscience" and I only have a concentration in operational meteorology, and I got into grad school no problem.

While thinking about grad school you also need to think about what you want to do. Do you want to forecast, research, teach, or something totally different?

If you want to forecast, your program is perfectly suitable for that. If you want to learn even more about forecasting, I highly recommend this book (Weather Analysis and Forecasting Handbook by Time Vasquez). And like anything else you have to practice, practice, practice to be good at it.
You can also get more experience forecasting by calling up any NWS offices within a reasonable distance and asking the MIC if you could shadow a forecaster on weekends. I have had several friends that have had success in doing this, and they got tons of great hands on experience. Or if you are not like a lot of us weather/atmo geeks, that is you aren't overly shy or too self conscious, consider getting a second major in communications and get a summer internship with a broadcast met at a local news station. Most of my class mates were broadcast mets, and they have become fine forecasters and get to do it everyday and make loads more money than I do!
Forecasting jobs can be difficult to come by however. There are usually a few broadcasting jobs available, but it might mean that you have to move to the middle of no where Wyoming. There are also various private sector jobs, but they almost always want years of experience.
You are probably more likely to win the lotto than get a job with the NWS under our current economic situation, however, I know one person who got a masters in GIS and landed a job. I have been told by him that currently they are looking for people interested in meteorology but that also have a strong background in GIS.

Or if you want to do research and or teach, than grad school is definitively your option. First you need to decide what your research interests are. Do you want to do numerical modeling, study cloud physics, atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, etc. Then start looking to see if you could get a second major, or even a minor in an area that would help you stand out in the stack of applicants. So, for example, if you are interested in modeling, than maybe consider a second major or minor in computer science. After that start looking at schools and professors that do similar research that fits your interests best. OU is a very competitive school, but for good reasons. There are many other equally good, and some maybe even better depending on what you want to do, than OU. So I suggest you take your time looking into others. Once you find a person who you would like to work with, email them and see if they know if they will have funding for a new student the next year (do this during the fall of your senior year).
Then once you've figured all of that out start applying. Remember, find a way to make your self stand out by finding a second major similar to what you want to research, and/or helping one of your professors with their research, and/or by getting into an REU. Also take the GRE seriously. Often times programs have some cut off score where they wont look at any applicants with a score below it. I know that in my program the cut off was 1200. I'm not sure what the equates to on the new scale though. Getting into grad school in atmo science is very competitive. Again my program took in 10% of the applicants, and there were 150 applicants. So making yourself stand out is key.

Whew... I got really long winded there. I know that I gave more info than what you were asking for, but I remember being in your shoes and these are some things that I wish people had told me before I started the application process. Another thing to do is to talk to your adviser about your goals and get advice from them too.
Best of luck!

I have three.

The first that comes to mind is an older book, called "Storm." It inspired my dad to become a meteorology major (sadly, the U.S. Air Force put him to use as a navigator instead of weather forecaster). The hero / heroine of the fictional story is a massive El Niño / atmospheric river event that rocks California, told in part from the perspective of a young meteorologist. It's an older book (copyright 1941), but despite being short on contemporary weather science, it's solid on the fundamentals, and the major criticism of it is that it's too technical. As a record of a storm pattern that often afflicts the U.S. West Coast (and historically has been catastrophic at times) and is only now coming to be fully appreciated, it's still relevant, even though it's out of print, but Amazon offers it used.

"Isaac's Storm" is a national bestseller about the greatest natural disaster in U.S. history, the 1900 Galveston hurricane, which killed 6,000 people. It talks a lot about the weather that created it and how meteorologists of the time failed to anticipate it (and why). It's a gripping, well-written account of a storm that shocked the nation and devastated a city that might have otherwise become Texas' largest. It's written by Erik Larson, who is one of the great nonfiction writers of our time.

You are probably familiar with the movie "The Perfect Storm" but maybe not with the book that inspired it, also a national bestseller, titled "The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea" which dwells a lot more than the movie on the weather science behind the storm. In fact, the phrase "a perfect storm of" didn't exist before the book. If I recall correctly, it talks about how three separate weather events converged over the NW Atlantic to create a truly wicked storm that caught a number of mariners off guard with deadly consequences for some of them. The movie is pretty good (certainly better than that joke "Twister" that someone recommended), but it's a little short on weather geekery.

Sorry, no colorful pictures in any of these books, but the stories in them are plenty colorful. Congrats on your awesome study choice.

Aim for something more interactive, like manual observations and books and guides explaining what can be observed in the sky, and less screen-looking and just reading arbitrary numbers from an automatic weather station.

The Weather Guide Calendar series is a favorite amongst a lot of meteorologists. It's informative and great eye candy. And it's a good Christmas gift every year - hint hint, wink wink.

Maybe look into volunteering for CoCoRaHS. She could actively partake in real weather measurements that are used in databases for studies and operations.

She could become an official storm spotter and send reports to your local Weather Service office.

An instruments kit would give her a hands-on way to actively partake in learning the science, rather than an electronic weather station from which she would just read numbers off a screen.

A Galileo thermometer, a glass water barometer, and/or a storm glass would be educational eye candy.

The American Meteorological Society has some great enthusiast books:

An Observer's Guide to Clouds and Weather

The AMS Weather Book: The Ultimate Guide to America's Weather

The best recommendation I've seen someone else have is to try to visit your (hopefully) local National Weather Service office.
Similarly, if you're near Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) gives awesome tours. If you're on the East Coast, the National Hurricane Center, the Weather Prediction Center, and the Climate Prediction Center, I believe all give tours. If you're in the Midwest, the National Severe Storms Lab or the Storm Prediction Center are in Oklahoma and offer tours. If you live near a university and they have a meteorology program, professors are always eager to help young people get into weather, and they may be able to offer some local programs or activities in which to get involved.

For Thermodynamics and Dynamics my professors referenced this book a TON. I used it more for Thermo, but it's good for each topic. Stull - Meteorology for Scientist and Engineers Good luck, dynamics was one of my tougher classes, but VERY interesting.

I'm currently enrolled in a masters program in meteorology in Norway. I'm not sure what curriculum is in the courses you're mentioning, but the meteorology relevant courses in my bachelor basically consist of the geophysical fluid dynamics found in this compendium, and atmospheric physics found in this book. The compendium is written by my professor, so there is definitely better ones out there, but it gives you an overlook of what is relevant. The book however is used in four different courses at my university, and is basically our bachelor bible of meteorology. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for something less involved, however. I'm not a meteorologist; just looking for something passive that could mainly tell me what the dew point is, as I've been reading that relative humidity is not the best measure for how comfortable one feels in a room. Are there any electric types that you'd recommend? This is what I currently have and was looking at something like this or this.

I tried to navigate around openstax but didnt really see a way to search or much that was meteorology related.

in order of simplest to most mathematically challenging

a non math oriented person could get through this book, but its an excellent introductory text and you will still be able to make math/fluids connections to it (gradients, laplacians, curl, etc)

a bit dated, but comprehensively presents the foundations of basic meteorology principles and goes into detail on one of the foundational principles (quasigeostrophic theory). is also written to help with literal forecasting of weather system development, movement, and decay.

the bible. this is first semester grad school meteorology material. starts with building blocks of meteorology and rapidly advances. if you understand this book inside and out, youre qualified to start courting russ schumacher for a assistantship at one of those fancy CSU grad school meet n greets.

Here are three books that I got off Amazon that I thought were good beginner books more or less:

I'm a relative noob myself, but these were helpful reads.

Hartmann has a good book. If you're looking to understand just climate change IPCC is probably a good bet.

This is the best book if you understand some basic undergraduate calculus.

http://www.amazon.com/Atmospheric-Science-Second-Introductory-International/dp/012732951X

Stuart Walker has two books about intuitively predicting local surface winds written for sailors that are excellent. The more recent of the two is called The Sailor's Wind.

Check out Meteorology Today, it's the textbook I used for my first semester of college.

You could buy one of the starter college books and work your way through it.

Probably buy a used, cheaper version (Meteorology Today)
