WeatherBrains 132: Updates on Tropical Forecast

WeatherBrains Episode 132 is now online (August 7, 2008). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

Yup, this latest episode is a tad late due to vacation schedules. We plan to have the next edition posted on the regular schedule.

The Weather Brains crew starts off reduced to two as JB is awol! But he eventually becomes found. And the discussion rambles over topics including:

  • Gibson Ridge author may be a future guest
  • Updates from Dr. Bill Gray and NOAA on tropical storms this season
  • A brief recap of a few of the highlights of the tropical season so far
  • Rants from all three of your WeatherBrains crew on media issues
  • James Spann with the help of Brian Peters looks into the mailbag which continues running over with comments and questions for which we try to provide some form of reasonably intelligent answer. Our mailbag continues to have some great responses, so we try to get to as many as we can.

    From The Weather Center:
