Comment on Severe Weather Outbreak Likely Today by TN_Jim

During severe weather broadcasts, I would rather see the entire radar image and not have portions of it blocked by the oversized weather logo. We live 50mi. north of Huntsville and channel 31 is where we get our weather info. I’d like to be able to see what’s headed toward Winchester, TN, while you’re focused on Huntsville.

This was one of the best blogs I have seen on the event. Very descriptive. You guys are doing well with all the scanarios. My gut feeling is ice around here by Saturday morning causing head aches.

Comment on My Thoughts on Climate Change by goldenone46

Brad – It is so good to read an article on “climate change” by someone I trust and respect. I firmly believe that any changes to our climate are not manmade, but are the result of the normal flucuations caused by increased or decreased solar activity. Thank you for your common sense approach to this subject, which has become a political pawn to levy taxes and increase control over our daily lives. I hope our members in Congress will do the right thing and vote to defeat this hoax. Too bad that another local meteorologist has bought into the MMGW theory. I certainly have less respect for him because of his stand. Thanks again.

But … tropical storms are named storms. And the names give them “gender.” It’s the tropical depressions that don’t have names, and thus no “gender” … right?

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:39:33 +0000

[...] A strong warm front will pass across the Tennessee Valley, and with the warm and VERY unstable air in place, a very strong upper level storm system will pass to our Northwest, placing us in a potentially dangerous situation where strong to severe thunderstorms and so-called ’super cells’ can develop. These are usually the types of storms that produce the most dangerous types of tornadoes historically. Remember, your FASTEST and most reliable weather warning system remains WAAY-31’s WeatherCall.

Comment on What August Forecasters REALLY Think by Matt G.

Haha . . . good point! My brother (who is super intelligent but has no interest in the science of weather) once pointed this out to me. He read one of my weather blogs and commented something to the general effect of: “Too much gobbledygook. I only understand `rain’. Try to say it more to the point, or else put all the really technical stuff as a footnote at the bottom.” Haha . . . I’m still working on it.

Comment on Shuttle’s Night-Time Launch by WP BH

WP BH — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:51:13 +0000

I could sleep through a hurricane, tornado, earthquake – you name it. But I woke up at 0130 to watch this launch – possibly the last nighttime launch in the history of the Space Shuttle. But …. it was scrubbed. Next try? Friday.

It’s easy to explain. There’s a 50% chance of rain every day – it’ll either rain, or it won’t. Then you’ll always be accurate. Not sure how that’d work with the “3 Degree Guarantee” though …

Thanks, Deborah. I don’t always have to explain why as long as the ‘what’ is accurate!

Comment on Another Tropical Storm Passes By by lukeskywatcher

wxchick found a typo within moments of my posting. I have added the word “non-” before holiday weekend, sicne I mistyped before I hit SUBMIT earlier today. Is that kind of like when a politician ‘mis-speaks’?

Brad….This is what makes you DIFFERENT as a weather forecaster….you get to the point without going into “deep explanations.” I’m sure the largest majority of your viewers don’t give a rip about how “this and that will combine to make this and that happen.” We just want to know if/when it’s gonna rain, snow, be stormy, etc., along with how hot/cold it’s gonna be. Thanks for doing such a GREAT job!!! I wonder how many people took their cats for a walk after your forecast last night?? HA!!!

Thank you for your feedback. CLicking on the star image will take you to the NASA site for very specific information for meteor viewers.
