With the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1, the Carolina Weather Group is revisiting some of our most memorable hurricane interviews, including WCNC forecaster Larry Sprinkle, former WBTV chief meteorologist Eric Thomas, and then-National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham, who now oversees all of the National Weather Service. In 2019, Scotty Powell, Evan Fisher, and Chris Jackson visits the NOAA's Hurricane Awareness Tour at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

The Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name. Broadcasting each week from the Carolinas, the show is dedicated to covering weather, science, technology, and more with newsmakers from the field of atmospheric science. With co-hosts across both North Carolina and South Carolina, the show may closely feature both NC weather and SC weather, but the topics are universally enjoyable for any weather fan. Join us as we talk about weather, environment, the atmosphere, space travel, and all the technology that makes it possible.

A coastal storm could impact both North Carolina and South Carolina this Memorial Day holiday weekend. As some head to the coast and beaches, others will be headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600.

Scotty Powell and James Brierton are live from pit road with the latest race weekend forecast and analysis of the potential impact of the weekend storm. How can the NASCAR drivers use the weather to their advantage? How should fans prepare for potential rain?

With Frank Strait in Columbia, join the Carolina Weather Group for this special, live, on-location episode of our weather podcast.

Streaming live on a special night: Thursday, May 25 at 8:30 p.m. ET. (Time subject to change.)

Dr. Phil Klotzbach is back on the Carolina Weather Group to explain why he and the famed Colorado State University hurricane forecast predict a slightly below-average storm activity in the Atlantic Ocean this hurricane season.

They are forecasting 13 named storms, down from the average of 14.4 They expect 6 hurricanes, down from the average of 7.2. Dr. Klotzbach expects 2 major hurricanes of Category 3 or greater, which is down from 3.2.

Current neutral ENSO conditions look fairly likely to transition to El Niño this summer/fall. However, there is considerable uncertainty as to how strong an El Niño would be, if it does develop. Sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central Atlantic are much warmer than normal, so if a robust El Niño does not develop, the potential still exists for a busy Atlantic hurricane season. Larger-than-normal uncertainty exists with this outlook. We anticipate a near-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean. As is the case with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them. They should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.

A big blob of algae and Sargassum seaweed in the Atlantic Ocean has begun washing shore on beaches in Florida, Cuba, Mexico, and elsewhere. Could it come to a Carolina beach -- and what does it mean for your summer travel plans?

When Brandon Clement and Jonathan Petramala set out to document Hurricane Ian in Cuba, they didn't know they nearly wouldn't make it back out of the country. And they had no way to know what would lie ahead for them in Florida and South Carolina from the monster storm.

This week their film, "Price of Paradise - Surviving Hurricane Ian," premieres at the Sunscreen Film Festival on April 28 in St. Pete, Florida. See the full trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzOEuYPcf0Q

This week on the Carolina Weather Group, the experienced storm chasers share their story with Scotty Powell and Frank Strait.

This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Myleigh Neill of the North Carolina State Climate Office about urban heat islands in the Carolinas. An urban heat island occurs when a city experiences much warmer temperatures than nearby rural areas. The difference in temperature between urban and less-developed rural areas has to do with how well the surfaces in each environment absorb and hold heat.

NOAA and the National Weather Service are spending millions to keep the nation's current network of weather radars operating for years to come.

SPONSOR: https://strms.net/hellofresh_carolinawxgroup

The radars -- designed in the 1980s and built in the 1990s -- each need about a million dollars worth of refurbishment to continue operating through the year 2030 and beyond.

This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we talk with Jessica Schultz, the deputy director of the Radar Operations Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
