Howdy from Texas! Special thanks to the WeatherBrains Crew for letting me take a few weeks off, and more importantly for letting me come back! Here are the show notes for the newest episode.
In this week’s episode:
“Which Way The Windâ€: Wild fires occur all over the country. Unusually thick and long-lasting smoke lingered over a large area of the southeastern US this spring.
