This is a real first for WeatherBrains with almost all of the crew in the studios at ABC 3340 in Birmingham with our special in-studio guest Johnny Parker. Johnny is an 18 year old young man who loves weather. He has overcome numerous issues with cerebral palsy. His family’s home was destroyed by one of the the April 27, 2011, EF5 tornado in Smithville, MS.

Also joining us as a guest panelist is Michelle Li. Currently with WECT-TV, Michelle Li recently won a regional Emmy award for her efforts to be interactive with viewers online. The award she received was the regional Emmy presented by the Mid-South chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

  • Extremes: 89 at Falfurrias, TX, and -15 at Presque Isle, ME
  • Severe weather setup for the Southeast on Tuesday and Wednesday
  • Much colder air blows in after the storms at mid-week
  • and more!

Our email bag officer is AWOL, so who knows who will handle the incoming mail.
