Special thanks to producer Jevon Mascalino (Jevo) for setting up the interview with Stacy Stewart. He did a great job getting this arranged, and I have a feeling we are going to have some additional guest announcements coming soon thanks to his hard work.
Also, Dr Beven was originally scheduled for 3/29, but he will not be available that night. We are working to get him rescheduled as soon as possible.
See you Tuesday night at 8:30PM eastern on TalkinTropics, the only audio broadcast in the world dedicated exclusivelly to tropical weather and hurricanes.

Another good programme Mike. 
Just to make sure you saw his bio I posted before:
In 1960, Hurricane Donna snapped off Stacy Stewart's favorite climbing tree.
"I was amazed wind could do something like that," he says. He was hooked.
Born in Miami, he grew up when hurricanes hit Florida regularly. He remembers his stepfather telling him he'd read about a tropical disturbance in the newspaper.
"He'd say, "It's going to come here. When they're at that latitude they always come this way." I was like 'Dad, how did you know that?' I was fascinated with his simplistic way of explaining the weather."
His stepfather, a Navy veteran, also told intriguing stories of typhoons he'd seen in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Stewart joined the Navy and studied meteorology.
He has served as the acting director or deputy director twice at the Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the Pacific and once at the alternate warning center.
Stewart, 49, has worked for the National Weather Service since 1978, shortly after leaving active duty. He earned a master's degree at the University of Oklahoma.
In crisp slacks, tasseled black loafers and a white dress sweater during an afternoon interview, Stewart is the spiffiest of the specialists.
He is military in his bearing and in his storm forecasting. His co-workers say he often mentions worst-case scenarios in his forecasts to make sure people are prepared.
He is the warning and coordination meteorologist, coordinating with other countries to recommend when and where to adopt watch and warning areas.
If he could change one thing about forecasting, Stewart says it would be to improve the ability to forecast rapid intensity increases. It's still hard to know why a storm like Charley gets stronger just before it hits land.
Married, he's the father of three, one still at home.
In his spare time, Stewart exercises to stay fit. He also enjoys "keeping the yard nice" and loves flowering plants.

I'll try to think of a good question before next week.
