The WeatherJazz® Podcast

It's almost difficult to believe that our warm pattern east of the Rockies will abruptly shift to a cold and potentially snowy one as early as this weekend. It is a good time to look at and test and prep all of your winter weather equipment. Kris Kiser, the president of OPEI (Outdoor Power Equipment Institute) joins me on this timely episode to help us in that process.

Take FULL advantage of these delightful days (east of the Mississippi) as a fundamental pattern shift is coming... something I call, "the other shoe." Let';s look at all of the teleconnections and atmospheric pattern drivers on today's episode of WeatherJazz®.

What is YOUR favorite month of the year... and WHY? Many of you responded to my query this week. I'll also treat you to the same question answered by your favorite FOX 8 personalities on this Open Line Friday episode!

WeatherJazz® host André Bernier and WJW weekday morning meteorologist Scott Sabol discuss the parameters that are in play for this winter's outlook.

There's a ton of weather-related items to cover today, including asking for YOUR involvement for Open Line Friday's episode. Call me today on the WeatherJazz® Podcast Audience Connect Line at (234)-525-5888 and tell me what YOUR favorite month of the year is... and WHY!

Woah! It was a WILD start to this Wednesday in Southern New England with a system that was actually STRONGER than the system that prompted the Hollywood release of The Perfect Storm! Meteorologist Jacob Wycoff from WBZ-TV-4 in Boston joined me to discuss the impact of today's system.

The National Weather Service updated their tornado outbreak numbers from last week's event based on the damage assessment teams that went out the following day. plus I'll look at the updated monthly numbers for this October thus far.

Today's two topics are totally unrelated, separated by a short break. Up front, we'll talk about Thursday's tornadic thunderstorms that produced "unusual" October tornadoes in NEOhio. After the break, I let down my hair (figuratively, of course, since my hair is short these days) and I give you MY all-time top 12 songs that have weather in their title. Do you have a top 3 or top 5? What are they?...

After taking care of a little meteorological business on the front end of today's program, I'm so excited to share some brand new music from WeatherJazz® friend, Jón Jónsson of Iceland. In a long-anticipated album release, Jón released his work last Friday. Since I was unable to release my usual OpenLine Friday episode, I had even more time to enjoy and get to know Jón's new songs. If you would li...

William Shatner made history today by becoming the oldest human to ever visit space! It's all a part of science Wednesday and today's episode!

The maple trees are giving us quite a show right now and for the next few weeks. A grove, or collection, of maple trees is known as a sugarbush. Maples are quite special in more ways than one! Let's dive into the world of maple trees on today's episode of WeatherJazz®!

Let's review September's final numbers in Ohio along with some impressive weather happenings in our 49th state, Alaska. In fact, the two really go hand-in-hand. I'll explain why in this episode.

Fall foliage time is very highly revered in nearby New England. Jeff "Foliage" Folger is my Open Line Friday guest today. For the past several decades, Jeff has become a fall foliage color expert for the northeast where the leaves are peaking this weekend and next.

It's always a joy to talk "shop" with my colleague, meteorologist Scott Sabol, who covers weekday mornings on WJW-TV. WeatherJazz®. Metrics show that these "weather nerdy" episodes are hugely popular! Let's dig into the weather weeds for September and what we expect in October.

Let's call this one, "What André did on his late summer vacation," episode! Was there anything meteorological to report? You bet there was! I'll talk about my experiences along with a look at the guests I have lined up for the rest of the week.

I have a fun grab-bag of fun things to share today, an episode I recorded OUTSIDE with my portable "studio" so you could experience, first-hand, a fun audio program called "DeScript." I also share my fun Friday routine, awesome thoughts on September from one of my steadfast supporters, and what I have planned for next Friday (a return guest!).

Shouldn't the first day of classes ALWAYS be the Wednesday AFTER Labor Day? Well, after I get that aspect of school life off my chest, we will look at a most unusual cloud formation. They look like UFOs! But there's a good reason why they look so strange. Happy September, everyone.

It was forty-four years ago today, September 3rd, that one of the greatest adventures of my life began. It was on that date that my family drove me north from southern New England to northeast Vermont to start my college degree program in meteorology. Eventually, that would lead to a very special lifelong friendship, the kind that is rare and special in every way. I introduced you to Bob Gilmore i...

Now that we are in MY favorite month (September), let's examine our summer stats!
