Our mail bag officer, Kevin, claims to have computer issues so he’s out again! Maybe he’ll be able to catch up on the mail bag next week.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: Last week we took a look at some of the changes coming to the GFDL model used in hurricane forecasting. This week we’ll look closer into the model, some of its history, and where it has been.
TWIWH: Bill Murray looks back at the week of April 5th. The weather events of this week include what you might expect – tornadoes. But this week also included some tremendous cold, snow, JB’s first day at work, and dust storms.
