Episode Description 

On today’s Texan Edge, Tweed Scott delivers a Texas weather report—front-porch style. 

Long before radar apps and warning alerts, Texans learned to read the sky with their senses: the smell of rain, the way the wind shifts, the sudden quiet of birds, and that heavy feeling in the air that says something’s coming. It’s a kind of inherited knowledge, passed down through stories, experience, and attention. 

This episode explores how Texitude shows up in weather wisdom—where old instincts meet modern tools, and where memory, caution, and confidence all live side by side across Texas

Step out on the porch, scan the horizon, and listen in.
