Episode description
Guest: Liz Leitman
Introduction: You are probably familiar with severe thunderstorm and tornado watches. The storm prediction center and its predecessors have been issuing them since the 1950’s to alert people that thunderstorms may develop and bring damaging winds, hail or tornadoes. About a hundred of these are issued every year. Believe it or not, the first convective watch issued by a woman was *this* year: 2023. The author of that severe thunderstorm watch was Liz Leitman - and she is here today on Weather Geeks!
