Alumni Workshop

Every parent's weekend, the Meteorology department has an alumni workshop. Alumni that went into broadcasting come in from all over the country and critique the current student's weather cast. This year's alumni included:

Janice Huff of WNBC's Today Show
Stephanie Abrams from The Weather Channel
George Winterling from WJXT in Jacksonville
Mark Walden from WPTY in Memphis, TN.
Mike McCall % Nate Harrington from WCTV in Tallahassee
Cassanova Nurse from WTXL in Tallahassee
Plus more!

Basically, I was a kid in a candy store! I've grown up watching George Winterling on channel 4 so meeting / seeing him for the second time was such an honor. Pictures were taken but I'll post those another time.

So blessed that even crazy dreams true! :)

SEVERE WEATHER

Most college students won't ever ever ever ever wake up in the single digits.

At 7am on this cloudy saturday morning, much to my surprise, I heard lightning. I wasn't expecting/forecasting any storms until at least this evening. I wouldn't have been surprised to see a light shower or 2 before noon, but lightning? Initially we're expected to have some fantastic thunderstorms..tomorrow. However, it looks like this monstrosity of a low pressure system has sped up and will be swooping by the big-bend region late tonight.

Below is basically the chances these areas have for severe weather.


Boy what I would give to be in Louisiana or Alabama right now, instead of the meteorology building on campus: fooey.

She's a beaut!

Today was a day that describes my "name of blog" perfectly. Sunny with a high of 75 is what I would proclaim to be ideal weather, for anything. Windows down, wearing shorts with maybe a light jacket.

Weather that you just need to be outside in.

Today's high was 73 with clear skies. I rest my case. With finally catching up on sleep from my past week of tests and events, I felt like a new person waking up this morning. Lets see what tomorrow's high of 76 brings...
