Spring is keeping us on our toes and in this week’s Weekly Weather Brief, meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin are joined by Jennifer Robbins from Hawaii News Now to break it all down. From major flooding in Hawaii to swings in spring temperatures, they walk through what’s happening right now and what it tells us about the season ahead.

They also dig into hurricane season prep, with a big focus on new updates from the National Hurricane Center. If you’ve ever been confused by the cone or storm messaging, this episode is for you - Emily and Kerrin explain the latest changes to hurricane forecast tools and hazard communication in a way that actually makes sense, so you can better understand your risk before a storm hits.

Plus, the team talks record heat, spring’s wild variability, and the meaning behind World Meteorological Day.

If you want a clear, easy-to-follow breakdown of the latest weather news, hurricane season updates, and what to watch this spring, this episode has you covered!

It’s officially the spring equinox, and the atmosphere is already delivering a little bit of everything. This week, meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin break down a round of spring-like severe weather... some of which underperformed expectations.

Out west, it’s a completely different story, with record heat taking center stage and Kerrin walking through just how many records were shattered. Meanwhile, other parts of the country are still dealing with winter’s grip, including blizzard conditions in some areas.

And then there’s what happened in the sky- Emily explains what NASA says caused the bright fireball spotted over Ohio on St. Patrick’s Day.

It’s a true mix of seasons across the U.S., with a brief look ahead at the potential return of El Niño and what it could mean for the months ahead.

Meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin are joined this week by storm chaser Jen Walton, founder of Girls Who Chase, for a lively rundown of some of the biggest weather stories making headlines right now.

They start in the Upper Midwest, where early-season severe weather brought tornadoes and impressive hail well ahead of the traditional spring peak. They break down the atmospheric setup that fueled these storms and what it might signal as severe weather season ramps up.

Next, the conversation turns to the Storm Prediction Center’s updated severe weather outlook graphics. Emily, Kerrin, and Jen discuss what the new probability scales and hatching mean, and why communicating these evolving risk categories clearly to the public is more important than ever.

Finally, they head to the Pacific to talk about eye-catching volcanic plumes rising from Hawaii and Jen shares her insight as a volcano photographer.

From early-season twisters to evolving forecast tools and towering volcanic plumes, this week’s Weekly Weather Brief connects the science behind the headlines in a quick, engaging conversation!

Meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin welcome the arrival of meteorological spring. In this episode of Weekly Weather Brief, they break down recent lunar eclipse, and explain why the Moon sometimes turns a deep red during a total lunar eclipse.

They also dive into the difference between meteorological and astronomical seasons, why weather and climate scientists track seasons differently, and how Earth’s tilt drives the seasonal changes we experience.

Plus, Emily and Kerrin explain how hurricane names get retired, highlighting why some storms are permanently removed from the list. The episode wraps up with a quick look at spring climate outlooks and a reminder to spring forward for daylight saving time this weekend.

A quick, science-filled rundown of sky events, seasonal shifts, and storm history- all in just 10 minutes!

In this week’s episode of Weekly Weather Brief, meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin break down a historic winter storm that packed serious punch - including a jaw-dropping pressure drop of 41 millibars in just 24 hours. Was it a blizzard? A bomb cyclone? Both?

The conversation also shifts from snow to the tropics, highlighting how storms don’t stop evolving once they’re over. Drawing on analysis from the National Hurricane Center, they discuss how Hurricane Melissa’s winds were reassessed after the fact, and why post-storm analysis can sometimes upgrade a system’s strength.

Plus: lightning in snowstorms, the rare and electrifying phenomenon of thundersnow, and a look ahead at seasonal trends as winter begins loosening its grip.
