WeatherBrains 127: Non-Severe Storm Kills
WeatherBrains Episode 127 is now online (June 30, 2008). The netcast audio program for people who really nuts about love weather.
Our special guest on this episode is Tim Troutman, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the Huntsville National Weather Service office. A thunderstorm and a microburst which did not apparently reach severe limits caused extensive damage at the Huntsville 2008 Air Show and one fatality and 12 injuries. Tim was on the scene participating in an outreach booth for the National Weather Service and brings us all the information on the event.
Outdoor events are vulnerable to the weather so the Weather Brains crew discusses some of the ramifications to these events and the need for hiring a meteorologist to monitor and advise on anticipated conditions.
James Spann looks into the mailbag which continues running over with questions for which we try to provide some form of reasonably intelligent answer.
