Record low winter ice on the Great Lakes. What impacts will it have?
Late February and early March is usually when ice cover peaks on the Great Lakes. But there's not much this year. In fact, ice levels are at or near record lows. In a warming world, is this the new normal?
Physical Scientist Bryan Mroczka joins the podcast this week from the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab to give perspective. Bryan shares the history of ice cover on the Great Lakes and why this year's low amounts are truly exceptional. He discusses the impacts being felt across the region right now and what lingering impacts may be for the rest of 2024. Finally, he looks at the big picture. How common will low ice cover like this be in the years ahead and what does it mean for the people, economy, and environment around the Great Lakes?

Which weather model is the best? It depends. Here's why
Computer weather models are the biggest tool meteorologists use to forecast the weather. But why are there so many, which one is the best, and why aren't they all better?
On this week's episode, the weather team digs deep into the world of computer weather modeling, also known as numerical weather prediction. The team discusses how it all started and how it's advanced over time. They also break down the advantages and disadvantages of the various weather models, including the two that people hear about the most, the GFS (American) and ECMWF (European). Finally, they discuss the efforts to improve the model forecasts and how artificial intelligence will likely play a big role.

One man became his own weather media company. Here's how it's done
Mike Witcher had been working as a broadcast meteorologist in Knoxville, Tennessee for more than a decade. Then, in 2023, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He created East TN Weather and became his own weather media company for local residents.
Mike is a part of a very small, but emerging sector of meteorology. Entrepreneurs who want to inform the public of what's going on with the weather. Mike sells his own advertising and it's up to him to provide updates around the clock. However, he says being your own boss and having a home studio, equipped with state of the art weather graphics, has improved his quality of life.
Hear all about how Mike did this and all the advantages and disadvantages that come with this unique job on this week's episode of Across the Sky!
