Mike, I just finished listening to the entire show. It was excellent! A big pat on the back for you and the whole crew!!!

They used my question last night! yippie! Good thing too, cuz my dinosaur of a radio needed replacing. haha

JB did a great job of communicating that there is a HUGE judgment and art aspect to TC forecasting, enriched by experience, vis a' vis a *purely* number-driven approach. I think a lot of folks overlook or don't appreciate that approach.

Oh my goodness, that was a amazing show. Definitely the best show you have ever had by far. He can come on at anytime! JB seems like a really great guy.

[mempho]

Best show ever. Hands down.

JB is a character. Very good at what he does..Very enjoyable to listen to.

JB's videos this morning still indicate that he thinks we could see Gulf activity sometime between June 20th and the beginning of July.

Well, after all the pro / con JB bits I've read here since joining s2k and not ever knowing anything about JB - and not really caring much except for the pretty humourous (to me) back and forths, this might be the night I listen in

Though I have been a paying AccuWeather customer from way back when I lived in Pa where JB lives and enjoying the localized weather for where I lived, I wanted you all to know that should you not know it, you can join AccuWeather Pro as a trial for I think 20 days, maybe 30 free.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.

Personally, I follow JB in the winter more than in summer, don't know why... However, I'd like to mention that I admire any person who will go on record against others and come along with a different opinion.

For us non computer types is there any transcript posted or can someone give us a brief rundown of his main points?

JB mentioned it in the column:

I was on an internet radio show last night called Talking Tropics and it brought back memories of my ill fated attempt with my cumpare, the ski-ing weatherman, Herb Stevens at a Saturday morning radio weather talk show, Real Weather USA. That was the most fun I ever had in weather, that show. And last night I had me chance to do what I love to do, talk weather and in this case the tropics with the folks on this show. Now they made arrangements for 15 minutes, thinking that I was busy and had things to do. Well I stayed an hour and a half, and if they hadnt cut me off , I would still be on now. Too bad i couldnt take calls.

Interestingly enough, the previous record for a guest was by none other than Stacy Stewart at the hurricane center and I am not shy about letting people know how good a forecaster I think he was. But I got some satisfaction in beating that record, since Stacy is an OU grad, and my dad went to A and M, after the beatings the sooners had given the Aggies a couple of times, I figured I had to strike a blow back for the maroon and white.

Actually it had nothing to do with that, but you know me, right.

I tell ya, My opinion changed a bit after listening to the interview, he may do things I dont agree with but he is a good guy.

[Portastorm]

Great interview and awesome show!

I traded brief e-mails with JB and he offered pleasantries toward the S2Kers. I told him everyone really enjoyed the show.
