WeatherBrains 518: We’re Really Off

WeatherBrains Episode 518 is now online (December 21, 2015). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

Unable to connect with our guest tonight, so we’ll plan of having Andrew Oldaker back to discuss SimuAWIPS.

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

• Extremes: 87 at Naples, FL, and -3 at Boulder, WY
• Today marks the winter solstice, the official beginning of winter
• It is also the shortest day of the year in northern hemisphere
• Arctic Oscillation strongly positive
• Very warm over the eastern half of the country
• Discussion of El Nino and impact on US weather
• Talk of long range outlooks
• Astronomy Outlook with Tony Rice talking about solstice
• and more!

Our email bag officer is on the job just like Santa’s elves processing the incoming messages from our listeners. And we love to get them.

From The Weather Center:

WeatherBrains 101: It’s all around us made up of a fairly constant set of elements. But this thing we call the atmosphere is a fluid that you cannot see, making it challenging to forecasters. This episode of 101 takes a look at air with some interesting facts thrown in for good measure.

Listener Surveys: Okay, we continue to drive this topic into the ground, but we really do like to hear from you. Many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to fill out the Listener Survey.
