Big Howdy from Texas! I’m pretty lucky that I get to visit with the great cast of WeatherBrains each week and have fun and learn stuff at the same time. Hope you can join us!

In this week’s episode:

After the Storms: We’ll visit with Gary Woodall, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, National Weather Service , Fort Worth, TX. Gary gives us a “behind the scenes” look at storm surveys. Straight line winds or rotating? Storm surveys provide valuable clues and research information;

A New Feature! Weather Makers and Troublemakers: Every area has its forecast challenges. We’ll tour the country and find out what gives local meteorologists the most trouble in their area. This week we’ll visit with Mike Stone from WTOL-TV in Toledo, OH and talk lake effect snow, and forecasting highs in the upper 60’s to near 80 in the same place on the same day!;

Correction: Last week Mike Umsheid, the meteorologist working radar during the Greensburg, KS tornado, was identified in “The Week In Weather” as Tim. We apologize to Mike and refer you again to the Dodge City, National Weather Service website. Interesting new information is being added to the site. And here is another in depth look at the Greensburg tornado;

The Week In Weather: Another amazing story from Greensburg, KS…Weather and Fashion…and Baby Hurricanes;

Around The Roundtable: Crazy TV radar promos…J.B. makes it cold and hears a “tinkling” sound…and hurricane drought relief;

WeatherBrains 101: Professor Peters holds a RADAR class…and aims it at one of the WeatherBrains;

This Week In Weather History: Weather and World War…A cold day in paradise…and when to REALLY yell “Four” on the golf course. Bill Murray has TWIWH;

Join David Black, James Spann, J.B. Elliott, Brian Peters and Kevin Selle…
