A Denver meteorologist has been harassed by a stalker and has even gotten a permanent restraining order against him - which she says he has violated. But local prosecutors won't bring the most serious charges against him because of how long it's been since the last stalking event. https://www.lehtoslaw.com

Guest: Alan GerardFrom tornado outbreaks to hurricane landfalls, few have had a front-row seat to as many high-impact weather events as Alan Gerard. After decades of service with NOAA and the National Weather Service, Alan now brings his expertise to the public through Balanced Weather, a Substack dedicated to delivering clear, measured, and science-driven weather insights. In this episode, we'll talk with Alan about the biggest changes he's seen in forecasting, the challenges of communicating severe weather without hype, and why independent weather voices are more important than ever. Whether you're a Weather Geek or just someone who wants to better understand the skies above, this conversation will offer a rare look at the intersection of science, communication, and public trust…Chapters00:00 Introduction to Alan Gerard and His Journey in Meteorology05:20 Evolution of NOAA and National Weather Service12:43 The Birth of Balanced Weather and Its Mission23:21 Challenges in Modern Weather Forecasting31:15 The Role of Independent Weather Voices33:43 Future Aspirations for Balanced WeatherSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A Denver TV meteorologist reveals the moment when a stalker had her cornered. Florida sets a 15th execution date, setting a modern record. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kylie Bearse is opening up about having a stalker to spread awareness on how the legal system is failing people like her. She's been dealing with this particular person for a number of years and a couple weeks ago it went to another level.

A new report from Verisk predicts a “new reality” in future natural catastrophes, with unprecedented global losses to exceed $152 billion annually.  It's being driven by “frequency perils” − frequent events, such as daily afternoon summer storms and hurricanes, that are driving high-impact losses.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sits down with a Verisk modeler and a Florida property insurance company meteorologist and risk analyst, to discuss how catastrophe modeling works, how insurance companies use it to set homeowners rates, and its importance in understanding and mitigating extreme weather risks now and in the future.Show Notes  (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/) The podcast discusses the increasing frequency and severity of storms and their impact on property insurance rates, particularly in Florida.  Dr. Julia Borman is Assistant Vice President of the Regulatory and Rating Client Services Team at Verisk.  It's part of the data analytic firm's Extreme Event Solutions division, which assists clients in working with regulators and rating agencies on a variety of projects, including data calls, utilizing catastrophe modeling in rating plans, and stress tests.  Natalie Ferrari is a Meteorologist and Catastrophic Risk Analyst for American Integrity Insurance Company, based in Tampa, Florida.  She provides data-driven insights into developing storms and their potential impacts by leveraging Verisk's modeling.  Together, with host Miller, they explored the evolving landscape of catastrophic risk modeling in rate filings and regulatory processes, the intensifying impact of extreme weather, and the need for resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters that modeling can guide.Catastrophe Models: The Backbone of Modern InsuranceVerisk's newest report, Modeling Insured Catastrophe Losses: A Global Perspective for 2025, projects expected future global losses to exceed $152 billion annually.  That's up from the $132 billion annual average loss over the past five years.  Host Miller quoted Verisk Extreme Event Solutions President Rob Newbold's remarks on the September 2025 report, that “the modeled losses reflect a fundamental shift in the risk landscape.  Natural catastrophe losses are no longer statistical anomalies.  They are the new normal.”  Borman said the report's $152 billion figure is a particularly significant one, given that the actual global losses in 2024 were around $137 billion.  “Over half of it was what we call frequency peril loss.  You used to hear around the industry, folks were calling things like severe thunderstorms and wildfire ‘secondary perils.'  We don't call them that at Verisk anymore.  They are frequency perils based on the fact that they happen often, typically within a year and those can really aggregate up into a large proportion of an insurance company's overall loss for the year,” Borman said.The catastrophe models look at a variety of different perils, including hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, and winter storms.  “We were writing the report not just to understand the total amount of loss, but also the insurance gap that might exist around the world and where that was most prevalent,” she added.   (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/) 

Meteorologist Ian Schwartz joined Bruce & Matt Salmon to shed some insight on the impending rain storms hitting the Valley this weekend.

Today's Headlines: A ceasefire in Gaza officially took effect after Israel's security cabinet approved the deal brokered in Egypt — Israel and Hamas agreed on mutual pullbacks and a hostage-prisoner swap, while aid groups are already mobilizing for Gaza. Meanwhile, Trump's longtime nemesis, New York AG Letitia James, has been indicted for allegedly fudging a mortgage document to help her niece buy a house — federal prosecutors previously passed on the case, and James insists it's a paperwork mistake, not a crime. In Chicago, a judge just blocked the Trump administration from sending in the National Guard for its immigration crackdown — which, if history is any guide, will only make Trump want to do it more. At the Pentagon, nearly 300 employees are under investigation for online comments about Charlie Kirk after his death — part of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new “don't speak ill of Charlie” policy. Also confirmed by the Senate: the same NOAA chief who presided over Trump's infamous “Sharpiegate” hurricane stunt. So… good luck getting accurate forecasts, ladies — the pressure's in your barometer breasts now. Economically speaking, it's a spooky season — Moody's says 22 states are either in or near recession thanks to tariffs, federal job cuts, and immigration slowdowns (sound familiar?), while cocoa prices have doubled and candy inflation is up 8%. Guess no one's getting those full sized bars this Halloween. Overseas, the U.S. just bailed out Argentina with $20 billion after its libertarian president Milei crashed the economy. In return, China's buying Argentina's soybeans instead of ours, screwing over Iowa farmers — so Trump's now considering a $10–14 billion bailout for them, too. And finally, Pope Leo dropped his first major document as pontiff, urging compassion for migrants and reminding Catholics that “the poor are part of our family.” In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Pope Leo.

Guest: Dr. Rachel MuncriefWhen we think about tackling climate change, it's easy to picture solar panels and wind farms. But there's another piece of the puzzle that impacts us all, every single day: how we get from point A to point B. Transportation accounts for a major share of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it's also an area of rapid innovation and urgent opportunity. From cleaner fuels in shipping lanes to electric trucks on highways, the road to a stable climate runs straight through the way we travel and transport goods. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Rachel Muncrief from The International Council on Clean Transportation, which is an organization leading the charge to transform global transportation systems with science-backed policy and practical solutions. We'll talk about where progress is being made, what challenges remain, and why rethinking transportation is critical for a climate-resilient future.

The effects of a changing climate are increasingly visible in our daily lives. Yet, in many public discussions, whether in government halls or business boardrooms, people are shying away from saying the word “climate.” This makes it more difficult to build support for solutions since people won't see how climate is an everyday issue if we aren't talking about it every day. Some worry that people aren't interested, that the issue is too political, or that raising the issue may not resonate. But often the challenge isn't the topic itself, it's how we talk about it. To connect more effectively, we need to shift the narrative: making it concrete rather than abstract, personal rather than distant, local as well as global, and rooted in real impacts on our families, communities, and economies. In this session live from Climate Week NYC, we will explore the dangers of climate hushing, empower leaders and organizations to speak up, and equip audiences to communicate about climate in ways that truly engage and inspire action. The session aims to answer: What is driving the increase in climate hushing  What does the data say about whether you should say the word “climate?" How to make climate a winning issue and boost public demand for climate solutions  This session is hosted by the Potential Energy Coalition. Speakers:  John Marshall, CEO and Founder, Potential Energy CoalitionMaría Mendiluce, CEO, We Mean Business Coalition Mindy Lubber, CEO and President, Ceres Catherine McKenna, CEO, Climate and Nature Solutions Moderated by Chase Cain, Meteorologist and Climate Reporter, NBC News

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.

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.

Whether it was minor, or severe enough to make you never want to fly again, turbulence is part of everyday aviation. Our next guest has spent the past several years working on modeling to forecast WHERE and WHEN turbulence might be the worst. Ignacio Gallego-Marcos is using his engineering background to simulate turbulence, and in the summer of 2020 launched Turbli.Chapters00:00 Introduction to turbulence and Turbli03:04 Ignacio's Journey: From Engineering to Aviation05:58 Understanding Turbulence: Causes and Types08:50 Modeling Turbulence: Techniques and Challenges11:58 Addressing Fear of Flying: Insights and Solutions14:48 Turbulence Patterns: Locations and Routes17:55 The Future of Turbulence Forecasting20:50 Business Model of Turbli: Revenue and Accessibility23:42 Climate Change and Turbulence: Trends and Predictions26:52 Final Thoughts and Resources for Fearful FlyersSee 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.

12 - After filling in for Dawn, we kick off today's show with a question on who is in the corner? Tony and Robin talk about how much of a struggle it was to make dinner last night. 1215 - Tony brings a conspiracy forward that he might believe. 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. Tony and Robin go through the catalog. 240 - Who is the real life American Psycho? Do Republicans fear the Democrats? What about vice 250 - Is Mike Opelka here for a crossover?

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.

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. The Sporkful team now includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, and Jared O'Connell. This update was produced by Gianna Palmer.
