The Weather Brains gang talks weather again this week, a day late but here anyway!

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

  • how about a minor earthquake in Central Alabama
  • still cold in Alaska – 47 below for one of the coldest
  • 90 in South Texas for some of the warmest spots
  • drought encompasses parts of Texas
  • Mississippi State Southeast Severe Storm Symposium
  • terrain and studying tornado formation
  • a plug by Kevin about WeatherInsiders including the winner
  • article linking Atlanta tornado to global warming may have bad headline
  • and more!

    • Our mail bag has been getting some attention and Kevin gives us some insight into what you are saying.

    From The Weather Center:

    WeatherBrains 101: Speaking of levels as we have the last couple of weeks, so what is a ceiling? And I do not mean the roof over your head kind. There is a ceiling when dealing with weather which is pretty important to aviation. So just what is it and how is it determined? Plus a little extra bonus of how it was used wrong in a movie.

    This Week in Weather History: Bill Murray looks way back in weather history to the days of the Signal Corps. And can you believe there once was a ban on using the word tornado because it might cause panic? Bill has the whole story.
