Tonight's First Guest WeatherBrain is a NWS meteorologist at Rapid City, SD who turned a childhood fear of thunderstorms into a career focused on public safety, with experience in forecasting and research. Keith Sherburn, welcome to the show.
Last but certainly not least, our Second Guest WeatherBrain on tonight's episode is a NWS meteorologist focused on protecting lives and property by communicating severe weather risks, serving as the Severe Weather Program Coordinator and Lightning Safety Expert for the NWS. He holds a BS in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma and an MS in Emergency Management from Jacksonville State. Aaron Treadway, it's great to see you on the show.
