Liz Walsh, Meteorologist with Met Éireann

Guest: Dr. Andy Hazelton, University of MiamiWhen a hurricane's on the horizon, we turn to the forecast models—those swirling graphics and spaghetti plots that try to predict where the storm will go and how strong it might get. But behind every line and cone is a team of scientists working to make those models faster, smarter, and more accurate. One of those scientists is Dr. Andrew Hazelton, a hurricane modeling specialist who's worked on some of the most advanced tools used by the National Weather Service. From tracking rapid intensification to improving ensemble forecasts, Dr. Hazelton has been on the front lines of one of the most complex challenges in meteorology. Today, we talk about where hurricane modeling stands, where it's heading, and what it means for those of us who rely on it when the next storm takes aim.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hurricane Modeling03:03 Dr. Andrew Hazelton's Journey into Meteorology06:04 The Role of Hurricane Hunters08:57 Key Components of Hurricane Models12:01 Advancements in Hurricane Forecasting Models14:53 The Impact of AI on Hurricane Forecasting18:02 Real-Time Testing and Model Validation21:00 The Importance of Ocean Conditions23:54 Future of Hurricane Forecasting26:52 Challenges in Communicating Hurricane Forecasts29:35 Final Thoughts on the Current Hurricane SeasonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we go through how to race Ironman Chattanooga, plus, give a few suggestions on how they could spice up the course.  We used to live in Chattanooga and raced there a bunch of times. Today, we dive into race strategy and give thoughts on how to run one of the more difficult courses on the Ironman circuit. We talk about how to approach the swim both strategically and mentally. We look at the 3 loop bike course which could be the hilliest flat course out there. Then we get into the run and talk about why it's such a great course. The ups, the downs and the opportunity to change up your pace/effort. Finally we look at ways to make this race just a little more appealing by incorporating some of the best parts of an awesome city.

Guest: Rep. Eric Sorensen, IL-17When severe weather strikes, the National Weather Service is on the front lines saving lives, but what happens when those front lines are short-staffed as storms get stronger? As a former broadcast meteorologist turned Congressman, Representative Eric Sorensen knows firsthand how critical timely, accurate forecasts are for every community. That's why he's helping lead a bipartisan push in Congress to fully staff the National Weather Service, reclassify meteorologists as critical to public safety, and ensure that rural and underserved communities aren't left behind when minutes matter most. Today on Weather Geeks, we're talking with Rep. Sorensen about why a fully staffed and supported NWS is essential for our country's safety, and how weather policy can—and should—transcend politics in the face of a changing climate. Let's get into it…Chapters00:00 The Importance of a Fully Staffed National Weather Service03:08 Congressman Eric Sorensen's Journey and Achievements06:07 Flood Mitigation and Climate Change Challenges08:53 Bipartisan Efforts for Weather Workforce Improvement11:53 The Role of Meteorologists in Public Safety15:10 Addressing Staffing Shortages in the National Weather Service17:56 Proposals for Weather Safety and Research20:51 The Need for an NTSB for Weather23:54 The Future of Weather Forecasting and Public SafetySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bad weather can snarl air travel, and aviation meteorologists are the ones helping air traffic controllers make fast, informed decisions to keep flights safe and efficient. But a new GAO report finds that staffing at FAA's Center Weather Service Units has dropped to critical levels, adding to the stressors already challenging the airspace system. Here with more details on their findings and recommendations is Director, Physical Infrastructure Team, at the Government Accountability Office, Derrick Collins.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Much-needed rain is in the forecast this week as fall begins. Meteorologist Andy Parker says the change will be noticeable.

#OZWATCH: JEREMY ZAKIS, NEW SOUTH WALES. #FRIENDSOFHISTORYDEBATINGSOCIETY.  SUMMARY: Meteorologists rely on experience as models fail, citing oceans being one degree warmer. The eastern seaboard faced high winds (60 mph), heavy rain, and "mega hail" up to 2 inches in Brisbane. Perth is sodden from unseasonable rain and high winds. Spring brings hay fever, plus increased sightings of kangaroos, snakes, and lizards.1896 1867 MELBOURNE

On Tuesday's show: In the years 2022 to 2024, the percentage of children without health insurance made its highest increase in almost a decade, according to a Georgetown University report. And Texas continues to have the highest percentage of uninsured children in the nation. We discuss what this means for the state with Elena Marks of Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.Also this hour: So far this year, it has been an awfully quiet hurricane season. We explore why as we chat with Houston Chronicle meteorologist Justin Ballard.Then, singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell joins us in studio to perform and discuss his new album, Airline Highway. Crowell will appear at an in-store event at Cactus Music today at 5:30.And we preview the 2025 Gay Softball World Series, which takes place in Houston Sept. 21-27.

Guest: Dr. Grace Ahn, University of GeorgiaWhen a hurricane threatens, the most dangerous part often isn't the wind—it's the water. Storm surge can arrive fast, rise high, and turn familiar streets into life-threatening hazards. But what if you could experience that danger in a safe way, before it ever happens? Dr. Grace Ahn at the University of Georgia has developed Weather the Storm, a virtual reality experience that puts people inside a realistic hurricane scenario to show just how quickly conditions can turn deadly. By combining immersive visuals, sound, and storytelling, her work is helping coastal residents—and even emergency planners—understand the stakes and make better decisions when the next storm comes.Chapters00:00 Understanding the Threat of Hurricanes05:00 The Role of Virtual Reality in Risk Communication10:35 Experiencing the Simulation: A Deep Dive15:27 Reactions and Engagement: The Impact of VR20:46 Expanding the Reach: Community Involvement and Education25:43 Future Directions: Beyond Hurricanes30:18 The Power of Combined Communication MethodsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#OzWatch: 1919: Sydney  1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season. New South Wales has seen snow at exceptionally low altitudes (300-400 feet, near sea level), while tropical Queensland faced cold, windy, and wet conditions. The southern continent endured blustery conditions and significant wind damage, with Victoria experiencing sustained winds of 60-65 mph, much stronger than usual. Most remarkably, two "fast-moving tornadoes" struck Adelaide's northern suburbs, a city whose stable, dry climate typically prevents such formations. The Bureau attributes this to a combination of La Niña-like conditions (warmer Pacific, more moisture), the Indian Ocean Dipole(cooler Indian Ocean), and a sudden Antarctic blast that trapped cold air over the continent, creating intense weather. Meteorologists are reportedly "scratching their heads" about the system, anticipating "wild, freaky weather" and an extended winter.1/4 - Unprecedented Australian Winter Weather Australia is experiencing highly unusual and severe winter weather, defying Bureau of Meteorology predictions for a mild end to the season.

Tony and Robin make the differentiation between Minnesotans and their elected officials. 1220 - Would Robin have transitioned if she was born in today's era? 1240 - How fake are these pastors in cities like Chicago who are against federal intervention in cleaning up crime in their city? 1250 - Get me a smashburger! Former MLB All-Star Mark Teixeira is running for Congress in Texas! Bruce Willis is entering hospice, and Tony and Robin detail their experience putting people into assisted care. 1 - Meteorologist and friend of the show, John Bolaris, joins us today! Why did he “abandon” Philadelphia for warmer pastures down in Florida? Why the east coast of the state instead of joining Tony and Robin and on the west? John details a harrowing experience he had in Philadelphia that led to his move. How nice is it to live in a place where people don't care about your politics? How badly have we lost the plot as a society now that people recognize the USA flag as racist? 130 - We continue with John. Is John still into the weather despite being retired? Can he be replaced by AI? 150 - Some corrections. Which nationalities have the best hair? Who is bald? What the hell is this new supplement on the shelves? Do they even work? 2 - Tony corrects his comments on who the last Republican mayor of Philadelphia actually was. 205 - Are there shenanigans going on in the Philadelphia voting system? 215 - Dom's Money Melody! 225 - The U.S. government is having an auction selling off its old equipment it no longer uses.

Guest: Tom WeberWhen we talk about weather forecasting, we often picture meteorologists at a green screen or storm chasers racing toward a supercell. But behind every forecast is a global network of scientists, technologists, and communicators working on the front lines of climate and extreme weather. In his book Cloud Warriors, journalist Tom Weber introduces us to the pioneers transforming how we understand and respond to the atmosphere. From data-gathering drones and AI-powered models, to humanitarian efforts in the face of heat waves and famine, Weber's reporting highlights the people pushing weather science into the future while trying to protect the most vulnerable among us.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Cloud Warriors and Weather Enterprise01:42 Tom Weber's Journey to Becoming a Weather Geek07:03 The Importance of the Weather Enterprise15:52 Storm Chasing and Research in Meteorology16:19 Understanding the Weather Enterprise20:17 The Balance of Government, Academia, and Private Sector23:18 Experiences in Storm Chasing with NSSL30:46 The Role of Technology in Weather Communication35:00 Understanding Weather Forecasting and Human Behavior38:51 The Role of Technology in Weather Communication44:46 Advancements in Weather Modeling and AI54:52 The Importance of Weather Literacy and Public AwarenessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guests: Dr. Ellen Prager & Dave JonesEver heard someone say sharks are growing legs, or that peeing on a jellyfish sting actually helps? Yeah… same here. The ocean and atmosphere are full of wonder but also full of wild claims that just won't go away. That's where today's guests come in. Dr. Ellen Prager and Dave Jones teamed up to write Megalodons, Mermaids, and Climate Change—a book that tackles your strangest, silliest, and most surprising weather and ocean questions with real science and a healthy dose of humor. From ancient sea creatures to climate change misconceptions, nothing's off the table.

There are a lot of desserts named after severe weather phenomena, but not all of them are created equal. We asked Tornado Alley's top meteorologist, Gary England, to help us rank some of these desserts, based on the severity of the weather they are named for. In addition to Gary England's dessert rankings, this episode includes a conversation Paul Breslin about how weather affects our tastes. Breslin is a professor with the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Rutgers University. He also works with the Monell Chemical Senses Center, researching taste perception.This episode originally aired on July 27, 2014, and was produced by Dan Pashman and Kristen Meinzer.
