Podcasts about National Weather Service

Listen to the SF Daily podcast for today, June 16, 2026, with host Lorrie Boyer. These quick and informative episodes cover the commodity markets, weather, and the big things happening in agriculture each morning. The energy market weakness affected grain prices, with slight improvements in corn and soybean conditions, but overall crop stress persisted. The African Swine Fever outbreak and weaker pork cutout values are impacting the hog complex. USDA inspections showed a drop in corn exports, a rise in soybean exports, and higher wheat assessments. Live cattle futures gained, and feeder cattle rallied. The National Weather Service forecasted severe storms and critical fire weather conditions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Grok says: “LISTEN UP, YOU MISERABLE BASTARDS! If you're tired of candy-ass podcasts that dance around the truth like a bunch of politicians in a whorehouse, then lock and load for Unrelenting with Darren and Gene. These two operators cut straight through the bullshit as they rip into Chicago's latest Texas-style storm apocalypse — trees flying, power out for days, parents dodging tornadoes while Max Velocity calls ‘em before the National Weather Service even wakes up. They break down real survival talk: the smell of dirt when a twister's on your ass, why you can't outrun nature on a Huffy bike, and how underground caves and old-school swing dancing beat the hell out of today's AI-generated plastic world. From fiber optic dreams that'll let Darren upload full podcast files in seconds, to tearing apart AI's invasion of music, gaming, and everything else — stem separation, auto-tune lies, frame generation, and PewDiePie's badass local Odysseus system that kicks cloud overlords right in the nuts. They go deep on Star Citizen spaceship “drug dealing,” photorealistic gun sims in Grey Zone, Tesla dashcams turning accidents into Hollywood, and the coming local LLM revolution that'll make data centers look like yesterday's dinosaurs. Throw in Hallmark hustle, Prime Video price gouging, Dutton Ranch smoke shows, and no-holds-barred talk on race, society, and when the social contract finally snaps — this episode is pure unfiltered firepower. Stop wasting your life on weak sauce. Download Unrelenting 0194 right now, crank the volume, and get ready to have your ass handed to you with laughs, truth, and zero apologies. Darren and Gene deliver the real shit every single time — if you can't handle it, go back to your safe space. HOOAH!” Unrelenting: where discipline means no mercy, no bullshit, and no excuses.

Right now we're traveling back from this week's successful Eastern Regional Conference. So this week, as we head into summer, we're sharing an episode on how to take advantage of all the services that the PLRB Weather/CATs department has to offer.   A supervisor leads a team of very needy CAT adjusters! Over the course of the year, the supervisor fields many questions as it comes up in their claims. Was there hail on X date? Was there lightning in the area? This hurricane is coming soon, where can I get news about it? Winter weather caused a slip and fall!! Where can I find information on wildfire perimeters and California evacuations? For help herding all these cats, we'll head to PLRB.org.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode introduces a scenario where a supervisor fields constant weather-related questions from cat adjusters, highlighting the need for a centralized, reliable source for hail, lightning, hurricanes, wildfires, and more. [ 02:15 ] - The team previews multiple scenarios—winter storms, hail, lightning, power outages, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires—showing the breadth of searchable weather data available to support claim investigations. [ 03:16 ] - Using a winter slip-and-fall in Iowa City, Iowa, the report pulls verified storm data from the National Weather Service, including freezing rain reports and hourly observations to validate conditions on the date of loss. [ 07:42 ] - For hail damage in Illinois, radar-derived data and verified hail reports allow adjusters to map proximity, estimated hail size, and associated severe thunderstorm warnings tied to a specific date and address. [ 09:53 ] - Lightning reports provide daily probability percentages and satellite detection data, helping assess commercial equipment claims while noting limits in resolution and cloud-to-cloud versus cloud-to-ground distinctions. [ 12:25 ] - Power outage searches archive data every ten minutes via PowerOutage.us, identifying outage timing, affected customers, and likely storm causes—critical for business interruption investigations. [ 14:09 ] - A tornado case study of the Mayfield event demonstrates wind reports, damage points, and EF-scale path polygons, enabling precise analysis of storm track and intensity relative to a property. [ 17:31 ] - Wildfire tools include historical perimeters like the Garnett Fire, evacuation zones, thermal hotspots, smoke analysis from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data, and hurricane spaghetti models—underscoring a single portal for comprehensive weather intelligence. [ 17:49 ] - Dylan summarized upcoming PLRB Weather/CATs developments.

On March 27, 2022, Ronnie and Beverly Barker were on a road trip they had made a dozen times before — from Oregon, heading south through Nevada toward Tucson, Arizona to meet friends. Their GPS routed them off the highway onto a remote county road. Their RV became stuck in gravel and sand at over 7,700 feet elevation in one of the most remote corners of Nevada, and then their escape vehicle got stuck too. No cell signal. No supplies. No one knew where they were — and searchers were looking 170 miles away. What followed was nine days of survival, a desperate public search campaign, and a race against time that not everyone would survive. This is not just a story about what went wrong. It is about what love looks like when there is nothing left. 00:00 Intro 00:28 A Wrong Turn Begins 01:45 Meet Ronnie and Beverly 04:25 The GPS Shortcut 07:03 RV Stuck in the Mountains 08:16 Kia Escape Goes Wrong 10:03 Surviving in the Kia 13:08 Ronnie Declines 15:10 Family Search and Red Tape 19:07 Ronnie's Final Hours 22:02 Found at Last 24:23 Aftermath and Recovery 26:31 Policy Change and Lessons 29:30 Final Reflections and Outro Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES Beverly Barker, exclusive on-camera interview.

Flagler County is on the verge of becoming the second Florida county certified as Tsunami Ready by the National Weather Service. While virtually the whole state is considered Storm Ready, officials say there's a non-zero chance that an earthquake in places as far away as the Canary Islands could send a wall of water toward Florida. In addition to awareness, the tsunami-ready designation has other advantages, including the potential to lower flood insurance rates. We speak with Flagler County's emergency management director, Jonathan Lord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's official: An EF-1 tornado plowed through the New Berlin area last week. As a line of thunderstorms made its way eastward from Bexar County into western Guadalupe County, the twister was on the ground for about 5 minutes, according to the National Weather Service, which surveyed the damage May 27 after the weather cleared. According to the survey team, the “damage was consistent with a short-lived EF-1 tornado.” The tornado's path was approximately 2.9 miles long and 70 yards wide, with peak winds of 105 mph. It was on the ground from about 10:20 p.m. to 10:25 p.m. It... Article Link

June 1 marks the start of hurricane season, and the National Weather Service is forecasting up to 13 tropical cyclones across the central Pacific. Today, our panel will discuss what we can do now to best prepare for the possible hurricanes ahead.

Part 1 - Host Neville James is joined by VITEMA Director Daryl Jaschen, who outlines hurricane season preparedness, including shelter readiness across the islands, emergency operations planning, and the importance of residents preparing homes, supplies, and insurance ahead of storms. They also speak with Maria from the National Weather Service, who provides an update on current conditions, highlighting Sahara dust, breezy winds, and a relatively quiet start to hurricane season. The discussion emphasizes proactive planning, communication tools like Alert VI, and the need for residents to remain self-sufficient and vigilant throughout the June through November hurricane season.

Hurricane season begins next week, on June 1st. National Weather Service forecasters predict the Mid-Atlantic region will see ‘lower than average' tropical storm activity this year. Despite rainy conditions over the holiday weekend – and much of the past week – much of Pennsylvania continues to be under drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.   Last week, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would give Pennsylvania nearly $40 million to address PFAS contamination in drinking water, the agency also said it would roll back PFAS regulations.  A recent study by the National Council on Aging and the Urban Institute finds many seniors are overlooking benefits that they might be eligible for.  A Lancaster County charity that distributes tens of thousands of meals to food banks is facing more than $14 million of debt - yet is continuing with plans to expand nationally.Pennsylvania's zoning and permitting processes are named as barriers to homebuilding in the state, according to a recent survey.

When three-year-old Brittany Eichelberger slipped out of her family's trailer in Elkins, West Virginia on Christmas Eve 1990, no one knew she was gone. She was found hours later, clinically dead in the snow — frozen stiff, her heart stopped, her body nearly 25 degrees below normal temperature. A neighbor, a determined paramedic, and a rural hospital team that refused to quit launched one of the most extraordinary resuscitation efforts ever documented in emergency medicine. The cold that stopped her heart may also be the reason her brain survived. This is a story about what happens when everyone around you decides it isn't over yet.

In the St. Louis Morning Brief, Marc and Kim break down new findings from the National Weather Service showing last year's devastating May 16 tornado outbreak actually involved two separate EF3 tornadoes, including one that became the widest tornado in recorded regional history at 1.8 miles wide. The conversation quickly shifts to frustration over the painfully slow recovery process in St. Louis, with the hosts highlighting statistics showing only a fraction of demolition requests, repair permits, and aid applications have been completed nearly a year later. Marc compares the stalled rebuilding effort to California wildfire recovery delays while criticizing excessive government bureaucracy and questioning whether city leaders are intentionally preventing residents from cashing out insurance claims and leaving struggling neighborhoods. The segment also examines Missouri's newly passed economic development legislation designed to incentivize redevelopment of vacant downtown properties, including long-troubled buildings like the former AT&T tower, though Marc argues rising crime and recent violence on Washington Avenue continue undermining confidence in downtown St. Louis investment and redevelopment efforts.

With the unique winter and spring weather events creating a mixed snowpack and melt season, this episode talks with the California Nevada River Forecast Center to learn details about the expected river flows this spring and summer in their region, and to look at what types of precipitation might load up for the summer and fall. This is the 2nd episode in a series of five episodes talking with five River Forecast Centers across the US. The River Forecast Centers are part of the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; they track all precipitation in each river basin, creating flow forecasts based on a variety of parameters. In this time of shifty weather and climate rowdiness, these experts are able to explain how the weather of the past fall and winter will impact river flows today and into the near future.    California Nevada River Forecast Center River Forecast Centers NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS National Weather Service   SPONSORSPoudre River Fund NRS NRS PFD for Whale Foundation Whale Foundation   PREVIOUS EPISODES ON RIVER FLOW FORECAST Columbia Basin Snowpack & River Flow 2026 - Apple Podcasts Columbia Basin Snowpack & River Flow 2026 - Spotify2024 Snowpack & River Flow - Apple Podcasts 2024 Snowpack & River Flow - Spotify 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow -  Apple Podcasts 2023 Western Snowpack & River Flow - SpotifyAtmospheric Rivers 101 - Apple Podcasts Atmospheric Rivers 101 - Spotify THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteRunoff signup (episode newsletter)InstagramFacebookApple PodcastSpotifyLink Tree

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! A wildfire can look sudden on the evening news, but the real story often starts days or decades earlier. We sit down with CBS News correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti to talk about his book Torch and what he learned reporting from evacuation zones, burned communities, and alongside first responders during some of the worst fires in the American West. The Palisades Fire and the destruction tied to January 7, 2025 become a case study in how climate-driven extremes collide with policy failures and everyday human decisions.We dig into the uncomfortable mechanics behind catastrophe: the role of controlled burns and fuel buildup, how “contained” fires can smolder underground, and why National Weather Service warnings about historic Santa Ana winds should trigger urgent, visible action. We also unpack leadership and emergency management questions that still hang over Los Angeles: unclear handoffs of authority, delayed coordination, and the kind of normalcy bias that makes even “bright red” forecasts feel optional.Then we get personal about what these failures cost. Jonathan shares what it looked like on the ground as evacuation routes jammed, vulnerable residents struggled to move, and help arrived too late in too many places. He also tells the unforgettable story of turning back into the danger to rescue three trapped dogs, a moment that reframes “service” as a simple decision to say yes when it matters.If you care about California wildfires, disaster preparedness, public records transparency, and accountability in government, this conversation is for you.

A weather forecast can shape your whole day — from what to wear and when to exercise, to whether to make dinner plans for the patio. And when severe weather is on the horizon, those forecasts and warnings can save lives. So how do meteorologists get it right? And why do forecasts sometimes miss the mark?MPR News host Angela Davis sits down with MPR News meteorologist Mandy Thalhuber to talk about what goes into accurate forecasting, the impact of cuts to the National Weather Service and what makes the work so rewarding.Guest: Mandy Thalhuber is a meteorologist at MPR News, where her forecasts and weather insights can be heard on the radio and found online at Updraft. Before joining MPR News in 2024, she worked at Weatherology, providing local weather forecasts for radio stations across the country.

National Weather Service says short-term outlook isn't great for rainfall to replenish Brewer Lake; Missing Pope County woman located safe; South Conway County School District names Teachers, Staff of the Year; Sacred Heart Bazaar to be held at the end of the month; Moose House offering free tours as part of county's bicentennial; regular baseball and softball seasons come to an end as regional tournament brackets are now in place; we visit with country music star Bryan White ahead of his concert at the Rialto Theatre in Morrilton this Thursday.

Dicamba is available again for over-the-top use in XtendFlex cotton, but the path back comes with a label that demands planning, discipline, and proof that we can keep applications on target. We sit down with weed scientists Dr. Pete Dotray (Texas Tech) and Dr. Stanley Culpepper (University of Georgia) to translate what changed for 2026 and 2027 and what those changes mean when you are trying to cover acres on real timelines.We walk through the biggest shifts growers and applicators will feel immediately: a two-season registration window, required training, heavier documentation, updated droplet language, and tighter stewardship expectations around drift and volatility. Then we slow down and unpack the new temperature-based approach using National Weather Service forecasts, including how the 84°F, 85–94°F, and 95°F thresholds can  limit acres under certain conditions, and potentially push dicamba applications earlier in the season. We also cover the practical pieces that decide whether a spray stays clean: VRAs and DRAs at the correct rates, boom height, wind speed, inversions, time-of-day rules, rainfall and runoff language, and how downwind buffers can be managed with mitigation credits and defined managed areas.The conversation also turns to paraquat, why the product matters across agriculture, and why uncertainty in supply or training infrastructure would ripple through conservation tillage and harvest aid programs. The bigger takeaway is simple: resistance is not the only threat to the herbicide toolbox anymore. Lawsuits, regulation pressure, and public narratives are shaping what stays available, and stewardship is now part of keeping tools on the farm.
