WeatherBrains 660: Smells Like Glade Plugins

WeatherBrains Episode 660 is now online (September 10, 2018). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

Joining us once again for this episode of WeatherBrains is Dr. Marshall Shepherd from the University of Georgia. He needs almost no introduction to our audience as a former President of the AMS and the host of The Weather Channel’s WxGeeks show. Dr. Marshall Shepherd, welcome back to WeatherBrains! Dr. Shepherd was a guest panelist on episode 572 and guest WeatherBrain on episode 628.

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

• Extremes: 111 at Death Valley, CA. & Ocotillo Wells, CA, and 21 at Stanley, ID
• Three hurricanes in the Atlantic
• Florence threatening landfall in the Carolinas as major hurricane
• Isaac to move into Caribbean
• Helene to stay at sea
• Another storm to affect Hawaii (Olivia)
• Astronomy Outlook with Tony Rice
• and more!

Our email bag officer is getting set for the potential impact of Florence on her area, so no email tonight.

From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: This week we take a look at one of the reasons you never turn your back on the ocean. They are called sneaker waves and for a very good reason. Sometimes when the ocean looks tranquil it can change quickly.
