Episode Details

In this Weekly Weather Brief, meteorologists Kerrin Jeromin and Emily Gracey discuss a myriad of events both across the U.S. and internationally.

Starting with the recent partial lunar eclipse visible in the Americas, then the newly named Tropical Storm Dolly and the coincidental timing with the passing of legend Dolly Parton. The two then discuss their feelings around the tragedy unfolding along the Nepal-Tibet, Chine border following a glacial collapse and unimaginable flash flooding as scientists link the event partially to a warming climate.

Wildfires and extreme heat back in the U.S. also catch the hosts' attention. They end with a viral moment of a meteorologist's laughing fit live on air in Maine.
