Tonight’s show is a suggestion of friend of the podcast Chris White.  We are pleased to welcome the producers of the Across the Sky podcast.

Meteorologist Kirsten Lang joins us from Tulsa Word.  Meteorologist Joseph Martucci is a meteorologist for the Atlantic City Press and is on the show with us tonight.

Last but certainly not least, it’s a pleasure to welcome Sean Sublette on tonight’s podcast.  He’s a familiar face with many years of service with Climate Central.  He’s now the Chief Meteorologist at Richmond Times-Dispatch.
