WeatherBrains 274: Attack of the Yeti
WeatherBrains Episode 274 is now online (April 25, 2011). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
We tried taking you right into the teeth of the storms, but our planned guest is really in the middle of the storms. So we’ll go with Plan B! Coming to us from our very own backyard is guest Weather Brain this evening, Jim Stefkovich, Meteorologist in Charge of the National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Office for Central Alabama in Calera (Birmingham area). Besides the job of running an NWS Forecast Office, Jim is also the program committee chair for the upcoming National Weather Association (NWA) national conference to be held in Birmingham in October, 2011.
