WeatherBrains 276: Rollin’ on the River
WeatherBrains Episode 276 is now online (May 9, 2011). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
Our guest WeatherBrain for Episode 276 is Richard Okulski, Warning Coordination Meteorologist (WCM) for the National Weather Service (NWS) in Memphis, TN. Richard is probably THE most scheduled guest on WeatherBrains along with the most postponed! Richard was supposed to have been on the show at least three times before, but weather sometimes has a knack of getting in the way. He will be discussing outdoor weather events along with comments about the record flooding on the Mississippi River.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
The email keeps flowing in and stacking up so Kevin puts it all in perspective. EAS performance during the April 27th tornado break was brought up.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: What do L, S, C, X, and K all have to do with the weather? Well, if you are really on your toes, you probably know that those letters refer to band designations with which weather radars operate. But what are the differences and how do each of these bands get used? You’ll hear all the answers in this episode of WeatherBrains 101.
TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of May 10th. Some of the events of this upcoming week include the issuance of tornado warnings and tornadoes in San Angelo and Waco, TX.
