Tonight's Guest Panelist is the Meteorologist-in-Charge of the NWS office in Pueblo, CO. He got interested in weather as a youngster in elementary school and never got rid of the "bug". He attended FSU's Meteorology program and following graduation had employment stops as a freshman meteorologist in Wilmington, Ohio and Pittsburg, PA. He also worked with the Administrator of NOAA in Washington, DC for two years. He's a veteran of the show and and at the time was the Pacific Regional WCM in Honolulu. It's great to have him back. Charlie Woodrum, welcome!
Our Guest WeatherBrain is a northeast Arkansas native currently attending Mississippi State University as a Graduate student. She's also a Teaching Assistant for the Broadcast Meteorology program and recently presented at the Southeast Severe Storms Symposium 2024. Kristina Balentine, welcome to the show!
Bruce Jones of Midland Weather Radio also is back to discuss the importance of NOAA Weather Radio and its timely warnings and information.
