WeatherBrains 533: Grecian Formula Works Well

WeatherBrains Episode 533 is now online (April 4, 2016). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

Tonight’s Guest WeatherBrain has been a meteorologist at WDBJ-TV in Roanoke since 1982. He recently became the Director of Weather Operations. Robin Reed, welcome to WeatherBrains! Besides weather, he is a big baseball fan and actually played some baseball.

Tonight’s other Guest WeatherBrain is the Chief Meteorologist at WDBJ. Brent Watts, welcome to the show! Brent has had a rather non-traditional career path to meteorology, and he has a serious focus on social media and apps.

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

• Extremes: 99 at Death Valley, CA, and 1 at Mount Washington, NH
• Marginal risk for severe weather on Day 2 and 3
• Cold from Great Lakes to New England
• Quite warm in Southwest US
• Cold coming for the weekend, too
• Astronomy Outlook with Tony Rice
• and more!

Our email bag officer has to handle company, so she just peeks in for a few minutes.

From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: In this episode of 101, we take a look at another aspect of our atmosphere, the interface with water surfaces. Did you know that about 70 percent of the Earth is covered by water, and the oceans hold about 97 percent of all of our water? You’ll even learn the name of the top most layer of the oceans, actually both names!

Listener Surveys: Okay, we continue to drive this topic into the ground, but we really do like to hear from you. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to fill out the Listener Survey.
