Our guest this week comes from the Mid-Atlantic states and is Tony Pann, meteorologist with WUSA-TV in Washington, DC. Tony Pann first joined 9NEWS NOW in October of 2001. He spent eight years at WBAL in Baltimore, and also worked at WCBS in New York. Tony has been seen on the nationally-aired NBC Weekend Today Show and the Weekend Early Show on CBS. He has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Meteorology from Northern Illinois University and the AMS Seal of Approval. Tony’s wife, Mary Ellen, is also a TV meteorologist, working at FOX 43 in York, PA. Yes, there are many “discussions” about the weather forecast at home. Tony recently moved back to Baltimore with WUSA-TV. Tony delves into his thinking on why the Internet has ruined weather forecasts – giving up accuracy for ease.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

Mail keeps pouring in, so Kevin does a complete review of what has come in this last week. Topics include volcanoes, photos of clouds, tornado warnings, and others.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: The professor sees lots of things in the atmosphere, so it is no surprise that the topic of discussion this week is the green flash. No, it is not a character from a comic book, but it is tough to see.
TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of July 27th with apologies to David Letterman.
