The WeatherJazz® Podcast

Meteorologist Joe Bastardi has been a frequent guest on USA's most popular news networks (FOX News, FOX Business, and so many more) with a unique, common-sense approach to weather, science, even competitive sports! My conversation with Joe touched on many subjects at many levels, including the role of faith in science and weather.

As Season 3 of WeatherJazz® expands and experiments, it's time for a "hybrid" episode that combines weather and the everyday life of an American diner.

Only one (meteorological winter) month has passed by, but a LOT has happened. Let's review it and what we see coming as WJW-TV morning meteorologist Scott Sabol joins me for today's episode.

Happy New Year! Let's review what was a pretty "average" year in terms of weather and  give you an update with regards to seasonal snowfall thus far for this winter.

It's EASY to say that Christmas 2022 WILL be white, but let's address the woolly mammoth elephant in the room: What about the extreme COLD? Is it record-breaking? Let's "dig" in!

The arctic slam arrived right on time. Let's explore this polar assault by the numbers.

Weather conditions are now in sharp focus for our arctic invasion on Friday. Time to refine timing and snowfall. I'll also share a fun story of when and where the first Santa Claus made an appearance in a retail store!

I'm starting to be confident enough to talk about snowfall amounts heading into Friday. Let's add that to our discussion of the BIG story of the FLASH FREEZE expected Friday morning. I'll have daily updates on WeatherJazz® through Christmas Eve.

The Christmas Eve storm timing is slowly getting more and more definition.  Here are some of those tweaks.

Slowly but surely, the Friday-Sunday Christmas storm is coming into clearer focus, however I will caution everyone that the "computer models" we look at are ONLY TOOLS... and it requires experience and expertise to USE these tools effectively. The models themselves are NOT Gospel! What are the refinements? Let's dig in.

It's coming into focus: a significant Christmas Eve and Christmas Day weather event for 2022. Potentially, it may become a Christmas period we talk about for a while. What is in focus and what uncertainties still remain? Let's dig into it. I anticipate releasing updates DAILY until Christmas Eve on WeatherJazz.com or your favorite podcast APP.

So far, December has been fairly quiet and riding just a hair above normal (+2.3°F). However, that changes beginning this weekend. The pattern shift is looking as though it deepens in a way that solidifies the deep cold across MUCH of the continental USA. WJW-FOX-8’s Scott Sabol and I talk about what could be one of the most memorable Christmas weeks in many years, if not decades! To WATCH this po...

Join host André Bernier as he joins the morning program LIVE on WKJA-FM to introduce the American debut of a brand new Christmas song released by popular Icelandic artists Jon Jónsson and his brother Friðrik Dör called Jólabroðir. https://rumble.com/v1zt1gk-christmas-request-program-wkja-912.9fm-december-9-2022.html

Host André Bernier shares some unsolicited endorsements on a few items that point to the signs of the year as well as answering some audience emailed questions.

You see it every night on the FOX 8 8-Day Outlook, but just exactly what is probability of precipitation? Scott Sabol joins me to talk about one of the helpful numbers on the 8-Day outlook.

Meteorologist Scott Sabol joins me to discuss this year's winter weather outlook.

Let's check in with former WJW news anchor, Bill Martin, who now lives near Sarasota, Florida as Hurricane Ian approaches the west coast of Florida.

Today's episode concludes Season 2 of WeatherJazz®. Today's guest is a frequent and very popular contributor, a great way to conclude Season 2. Please welcome back Gunnar Ingi Gunnarsson from Iceland. We chat about ministry, family life, and the most recent volcano that stopped erupting last week. I anticipate a several month break to assess what Season 3 should look like and i ask ALL of you to c...

As I start wrapping things up with this final week of WeatherJazz®, Season 2, I thought it would be great fun to bring on longtime friend, retired FOX 8 News anchor, Bill Martin. I had absolutely nothing planned so we spoke about anything that happened to come to mind. This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about absolutely nothing! If you would like to SEE this interview, go to WeatherJazz.com,...

Meteorologist Scott Sabol and I chat about what lies ahead for the month of September in anticipation of our winter weather outlook which will be ready in late October.

It's our final stop on our solar system "Science Wednesday" series. I pick up where we left off last week talking about some of the moon's features as observed from Earth.

Our (meteorological) summer is drawing to a close. How did we do with the Summer Weather Outlook? Were there any surprises (there usually are a few!)? FOX 8 weekday morning meteorologist Scott Sabol and I enjoyed a "weather-nerdy" conversation about our summer in a two-part episode. Part 2 will be released on Friday.

It's time to go retro and highlight one of my favorite episodes from November of 2020 when I interviewed Icelandic pop singer Jón Jónsson. Since then, Jón released a new album and I've added a few of the cuts off his new work that are my favorites.

It's our final stop in our own solar system: The Moon. We take it for granted. But should we? A closer look will reveal why it is such a special natural satellite! This is Part 1 of a 3-Part series that will end just before Labor Day. Special Note: WeatherJazz® will go on an extended sabbatical beginning September 3rd, 2022. The purpose is to evaluate what WeatherJazz® should look like going forwa...

About a week ago, the world of meteorology lost someone very special. For over three decades, television meteorologist Bruce Schwoegler informed and entertained New England with great weather wisdom and wit. Not only was Bruce a great TV and weather mentor, he was a good friend. When I started WeatherJazz® some seventeen years ago, Bruce was one of my very first guests. I'd like to play part of th...
