February 22, 2024 AI severe weather alerts [Ep. 481]
NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) has provided manual translations of weather forecasts and warnings in Spanish for the past 30 years, but now the agency has a new tool to be more accurate, efficient and equitable.
Through a series of pilot projects over the past few years, NWS forecasters have been training artificial intelligence (AI) software for weather, water and climate terminology in Spanish and Simplified Chinese, the most common languages in the United States after English. NWS will add Samoan and Vietnamese next, and more languages in the future.
Two of the nearly dozen locations where these AI-translated severe weather bulletins are being tested are in the Carolinas. This week, James Brierton talks with Chris Rohrbach, a meteorologist and web developer at the National Weather Service in Columbia, South Carolina, where this artificial intelligence experiment is being tested alongside locations such as Greenville-Spartanburg, SC.
You’re invited to try out the translated severe weather bulletins at https://weather.gov/translate. NOAA wants your feedback. You can e-mail [email protected] before September 29, 2024.

January 18, 2024 The man inside NC's decommissioned lighthouse [Ep. 477]
It's been three years since the Carolina Weather Group first talked with Richard Neal, the owner of the decommissioned Frying Pan Shoals Tower off the coast of North Carolina.
James Brierton and Shea Gibson caught up with Richard recently during the Weather Pods Disaster Relief Telethon. Here now is that updated conversation, followed by an encore presentation of our first interview from 2020.
Frying Pan Tower is located 32 miles off the coast of North Carolina and rises 135' above the Atlantic Ocean. It helps provide safety to Mariners in the Atlantic Ocean, is used for environmental research and education studies, and is a shelter to a natural ecosystem for marine wildlife.
Its location makes it a prime spot to observe tropical weather off the Carolina coast, including a direct hit by Hurricane Irene in 2011. Weather conditions are observed on-board by weather sensors and a live streaming webcam.
In 2010, the government placed the Frying Pan Tower up for auction, with the winning bid going to Richard Neal of Charlotte, NC. Richard is our guest on this episode of the Carolina Weather Group.
The tower is powered using wind turbines and solar energy for electricity. It has a filtration system for potable water and high-speed Internet for communications.
You can learn more about the tower, and make a donation to its upkeeping, on https://fptower.org/.

January 04, 2024 Ice, then storms in Carolina weather [Ep. 475]
An emerging weather pattern will bring a chance of winter weather, including ice, snow and sleet, to portions of North Carolina Friday night into Saturday. The best chance of wintry precipitation will be in the mountains of western North Carolina, including Asheville, Boone, Blowing Rock and Hickory, but could also spill over into portions of the Piedmont and Triad, including Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem.
Then an early forecast preview into next week shows a chance of strong storms across portions of both North Carolina and South Carolina Tuesday into Wednesday. The Carolina Weather Group's Scotty Powell and Frank Strait, joined by WFMY's Christian Morgan and future WXII meteorologist Dylan Hudler, provide forecast analysis and insight into Carolina weather impacts expected from these two January storm systems.
