Carolina Weather Group

Jim Williams from www.hurricanecity.com joins us to talk about the upcoming tropical season, his predictions and how he uses statistics to track hurricane potentials. 

Doug Schneider and Scott Martin are race fans and meteorologists dedicated to providing accurate forecasts and timely weather updates at racing venues around the world. They forecast for IndyCar, Indy Lights/MRTI, IMSA, Pirelli World Challenge, World Endurance Championship, and Trans Am Series races, as well as major SCCA and NASA events.We will also be assessing storm damage in the Carolinas caused by two days of severe weather.

The 2017 hurricane season will start on June 1st and last through November 30th. We already had Tropcial Storm Arlene early in April and the next named tropical cyclone is "Bret". We ask expert Levi Cowan of Tropical Tidbits to explain his thoughts on the current conditions of our northern hemisphere and give us an idea on how he thinks the season will start - and what he expects throughout the season. Will we have a return of El Nino? Will we have a setup more or less conducive for TC development in the Atlantic /Pacific basins?

Nick Ulivieri is a Chicago based photgrapher. Nick has a passion for taking breath-taking photos of all things weather! Nick joins us to talk about his passion of weather and photography and how they came together. Nick will show off some of his best pictures and explain how he got them! Nick will also give a little advice on how you too, can get the perfect shot!

Tornadoes are some of the most studied weather phenomenons in the world. How do they form? Where are they going to hit? Could it be that we are getting closer to being able to predict when the next tornado may strike? Victor Gensini joins us to discuss the possibility of predicting tornadoes a few weeks in advance. Victor will discuss the findings from recent reasearch that may help give people advance awareness of when tornadoes could strike.

We're talking with Virginia-based storm chaser Chris White!

What is causing Sea Level Rise? Has it happened in the past? What are the current trends? Globally? Locally? Future projections? Uncertainty? Scenario vs. Probabilistic approach. How are we tracking vs. projections? Future storms? SLR making things worse. Total water level. Nuisance flooding increasing. Lots at stake. What can we do? What are cities currently doing about it? Quick SLR viewer demo.
