April 28, 2022 Studying QLCS tornadoes in the Carolinas [Ep. 408]
One of the largest and most comprehensive severe storm field campaigns to date is taking place across the Southeast region of the United States, including in portions of the Carolinas.
The PERiLS tornado study, which stands for Propagation, Evolution, and Rotation in Linear Storms, will leverage dozens of remote sensing technology to study tornado-producing thunderstorms commonly called QLCS (or quasi-linear convective systems if you're playing scrabble)
Our guest this week is one of the scientists, Karen Kosiba.

April 26, 2022 Churches highlight solar panels during Faith Climate Action Week
Duke Energy's solar panel rebate program expires this year, and faith groups such as the North Carolina Council of Churches and Interfaith Power and Light are urging churches across the state to take advantage of the program during National Faith Climate Action Week, which begins today.

Anne Hodges-Copple, bishop suffragan of the Diocese of North Carolina, said dozens of North Carolina congregations have saved on energy bills using the program.

"There's all kinds of partners ready to help make this line up in a way that just has a huge benefit to any worshiping community that needs to save money," Hodges-Copple pointed out. "As well as cares about taking care of the earth."

A 2018 survey by the U.S. Energy Information Administration found many commercial buildings, including churches, spend thousands of dollars a year on lighting and space heating and cooling.

Elizabeth Bennett, director of stakeholder engagement for Duke Energy, said churches may be able to receive up to $75,000 in rebates.

"And what the rebate program does is not only provides a rebate for nonprofits who want to install solar, but really helps them through the process," Bennett explained.

She noted church leaders should first look at the program's eligibility requirements and added there are plenty of resources to help congregations start the process.

April 21, 2022 Tornado interrupt football? This tech will help solve that [Ep. 407]
Tired of tornado warnings in other counties interrupting your television programming? Never again! New technology, beginning to roll out nationwide, could offer a solution.
As broadcast stations across the country deploy ATSC 3.0, a standard more commonly known as NextGen television, a future where severe weather and breaking news coverage is geo-targeted to separate viewers in specific locations is possible.
The new technology, which is expected to be in homes, vehicles, and mobile devices over the next decade, creates new possibilities for TV stations. Unlike traditional television, which broadcasts the same signal to all viewers within the coverage area, the new generation technology allows programming changes to be sent differently to different devices.
Using Internet-based indicators received by the IPTV transmission, viewers not actively under a tornado warning could stay with regular programming, such as live sporting events, while viewers most impacted by life-threatening severe weather could watch live, breaking weather coverage.
Our guest this week on the Carolina Weather Group is John Lawson, who serves as Executive Director of the Advanced Warning and Response Network (AWARN) Alliance, an international coalition of broadcasting, consumer electronics, and professional tech companies. The Alliance is leveraging Next Generation Television (ATSC 3.0) to develop an advanced system for emergency alerting, news, and information.
The technology is new and not yet deployed everywhere. To see if your city and local broadcasters are transmitting for NextGen TV, visit https://www.watchnextgentv.com/. Even after the new transmissions begin, it will still be a matter of time before local broadcasters decide whether or not they want to segment programming to different parts of their audience.

April 14, 2022 Managing fire danger [Ep. 406]
While fires can certainly be devastating and destructive, fire can - when properly managed - have benefits for the environment.
Our guest this week is Adam Warwick, the Stewardship Manager at The Nature Conservancy - North Carolina Southern Blue Ridge Office. Warwick discusses the ways that renewed forests and woodlands can benefit plants and animals. Officials can manage this environmental cycle through prescribed burns.
In North Carolina and South Carolina, there are two primary fire seasons: In spring and fall when plants are dormant. However, fires can happen any time of year when the conditions are right. Warwick explains the ways to properly manage the risk of fires by knowing when weather conditions such as dry, windy conditions with low humidity can easily create wildfires and brushfires.

April 13, 2022 Details of 10 tornadoes confirmed in South Carolina April 5 and 6
The National Weather Service has completed extensive storm surveys detailing the 10 tornadoes confirmed in South Carolina on April 5 and 6. Their investigation found evidence from the historic storms, including an EF-3 tornado in Allendale, Orangeburg, and Bamberg counties that was on the ground for over 35 miles.
Amazingly no one was killed in the Carolinas by these tornadoes.
The storm surveys were a joint collaboration between the National Weather Service office in Columbia, and the National Weather Service in Charleston.

March 31, 2022 Southern severe weather storm threat [Ep. 405]
As we begin our stream this week, there is a major severe weather event occurring across portions of the Deep South, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. Thunderstorms are producing life-threatening tornadoes in addition to dangerous hail and winds. We're analyzing the unfolding situation.
We're forecasting ahead to Thursday. This is when the same cold front currently producing storms off to our west arrives in the Carolinas. While we expect the storm threat to be less severe than seen Wednesday, there is still a chance for some severe thunderstorms Thursday. Some of these storms could be strong enough to produce damaging winds, flash flooding, or an isolated tornado.
We're also revisiting last week's severe weather in the Carolinas, including analyzing the multiple tornadoes the National Weather Service confirmed touchdown in portions of both North Carolina and South Carolina. One of the strongest tornadoes to occur on March 23 was an EF-2 in Pickens, South Carolina.
Plus late-breaking developments on the fire threat across the region, including fires burning near Wears Valley along the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, and in Cumberland County, North Carolina near Fayetteville.
