Tonight's show will be broken into two halves.

Our first Guest WeatherBrain is a retired Army noncommissioned officer with a background in special operations/weather. He currently does some work for streaming service WeatherNation as a field meteorologist. He's also a part time police officer as well as Founder/Director of the National Storm Chaser Summit.
