B Squared Weather Podcast B Squared Weather

B2 Is back! We've had an extended break, but with that break comes new opportunities and a renewed focus on sharing our love of weather with you! We revisit our most important episode to date. With severe weather really kicking off, we wanted to give everyone a refresher on watches, warnings, and how to best stay safe.

Our last episode of the year and we look back at the two big tornado outbreaks in the last ten days. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma was once again spot on with the severe weather forecast. Bobby talks about the rare snow event in Portland with an "Anafront" and the atmosphere going "Isothermal". Going forward into 2022, B Squared will have a different format that we feel will better suit the show and our listeners. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

A Bomb Cyclone is taking aim at the Pacific Northwest, atmospheric pressure is down to 942mb, the lowest ever recorded in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Severe thunderstorms have formed within the initial band as it came into the Willamette Valley. Bobby was in line to see the storm, but it weakened just before it came into his neighborhood. Wind and more storms are forecasted for the west coast later today. In the Midwest, a severe weather outbreak is just getting started. Expecting to see tornadoes and big storms from Oklahoma into Arkansas and Missouri. The tropics have died off and Bonnie believes the season is over.

All eyes are on Oklahoma today as severe weather is forecasted for the area. Severe weather includes big hail, strong winds, and a few strong tornadoes. Central Oklahoma is under the gun for storms firing this afternoon and evening. Please make sure you have multiple ways to get watching and warnings.

Since we last chatted, we've had five named storms appear. Three of the five are now just a memory while we have two tropical storms churning out in the Atlantic. Back in the US, thunderstorms are forecasted for portions of the Great Lakes and portions of southern Florida. Bobby recaps his fun weekend.

Hurricane Ida left a trail of destruction from the gulf coast to the Northeast. Flooding was the big story as the rains came down and didn't stop. Record rainfall fell across portions of Pennsylvania and New York. People decided to jump into flood waters for social media posts (we don't endorse that) and we learned of several tragic deaths because of the flooding. Hurricane Larry is spinning away in the Atlantic and won't affect the US mainland. Back stateside, some garden variety storms are forecasted across the plains while a strong line of storms moves through Michigan.
