More than 40 years ago, we adopted each other as a friend who "sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24). Our life intersection was designed by God. The story will have you nodding your head in agreement. Bob's talents are amazing. He's a broadcast engineer who also does amazing wood work. After months of frustration looking for the right desk for my new WeatherJazz® studio, Bob offered to build a custom sized desk that would fit perfectly in the space I had. (See the photos on WeatherJazz.com, Episode #228).

To understand why I know that our paths were Divenly designed to intersect, join me as I read a short chapter about Bob from my 2011 book, The Extra Mile (available on Amazon and Kindle).

If you listen carefully to the insect sounds as night falls, you can easily determine that we are in the final phase of summer. It seems like the bugs are louder and more active. Perhaps they "know" that their time is short. Another telltale sound of late summer is the emergence of the Katydid. By the end of today's program, you will know what Katydids sound like and what to listen for in the late summer.

After a glorious weekend with dry air (and REALLY dry air for one observation station in the US), our Ohio Valley pattern will return to its summer 2021 ways.

Many people love to snap photos, especially given that most of us hold a camera in our hands daily with the advent of cell phones that can do so much more. Now imagine taking a photograph with a massive telescopic lens! (You can see this camera on Episode #225 at WeatherJazz.com)\ That's what my WeatherJazz® guest uses to snap some amazing photos. Let's get to know John Tryon on today's episode of WeatherJazz®.

It's that time of year again... with the arrival of late summer, the annual meteor shower known as the Perseids will dazzle the nighttime sky tonight wherever the weather allows. Let's talk about the Perseids and the meteor shower's source.

It's amazing to consider that Cleverland has NOT officially recorded a 90°F day in OVER a MONTH! That likely changes today. Let's look atmhow often that happens in NEOhio climatology.

This episode was pre-produced last Friday in the FOX 8 Cleveland newsroom. I asked a series of fun rapid-fire questions to various FOX 8 Cleveland news personalities. The results are fun and humorous! Enjoy getting to know the FOX 8 crew!

Psychology and meteorology are very odd bedfellows until you start digging into the topic a little deeper. That's what morning meteorologist Scott Sabol has been doing over the past fifteen years. The two actually go hand-in-hand!

Now that we have the first two months of summer "in the books," let's examine them and see what we have looking ahead for the first few weeks of August.

We're certainly starting August off on a cool, dry, and refreshing note. The mid-level smoke from the western forest fires have been pushed south, out of Ohio. Just look at how blue the skies look today!

Kansas City is blessed beyond measure to have Meteorologist Bryan Busby helping viewers to navigate the wild swings of weather in tornado alley. But what so many don't know is that Bryan grew up in northeast Ohio and, as a youngster, wrote Dick Goddard a letter asking him about the damaging thunderstorm complex that affected Ohio on July 4th, 1969. The rest, as they say, is history!

I had the privilege of sitting down with my longtime friend and colleague when he was in town a few weeks ago. Bryan graciously accepted my invitation to be a special guest on weatherJazz®.
