Our email bag officer is trying to catch up, so the email bag will be summarized fully next week.

From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: The 101 segment will occasionally profile a person who has had a major impact on the science. So in remembrance of the passing of Dr. Bill Gray, hurricane researcher at Colorado State University, this episode details his life and some of the major accomplishments he achieved in more than 50 years in weather.
