I’ve been making some big changes! While Madonna and Lady Gaga seem to reinvent themselves on a weekly basis, I thought I’d try it..at least once. I am still doing weather safety presentations in schools across North Texas, speaking at special events, selling books and most importantly…being a mom. NOW…I am now also a full-time [...]
This was sent to me by a friend. When I read it, I thought….this needs to be shared! Enjoy… Kristine A Child’s View of Thunderstorms A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to school. As the afternoon [...]
5 years ago when I was still at KTVT, I was on the cover of D Magazine. I was named Best Meteorologist (quite an honor). On the cover my photo was a little circle in the middle of many other of D’s best that year. I thought that would be my first and last time [...]
Happy Back to School! Sent the kids off this morning, went for a nice long 6-mile run and for the first time in 3 months I finally have a little time to write and get back to work. Hot…Hot…Hot…I’m sure you’ll agree, August has truly been a tough month. After our nice early July rains, [...]
While tornadoes, hurricanes and winter storms always seem to be the big draw for most weather junkies, what many don’t realize is that heat is truly the #1 weather-related killer. Today will mark the 5th consecutive day of 100+ degree temperatures and there are more the come this week. Even though the dewpoint is relatively [...]
There is no question our very wet, chilly winter has been the result of a strong El Nino. Often the effects of the El Nino on our weather wane as we get closer to summer. We’ll see. As I look at the long-range models… the constant train of storm systems that continue to cross the [...]
Could be! 6 years ago, on Valentine’s Day, North Texas was hit with the perfect snow storm. Huge, wet flakes fell across the area that Saturday leaving our area coated in white. Below you can see a graphic that shows the snowfall totals by the time all was said and done. The good thing about [...]
It’s been too long since I’ve posted…it’s time to get back in the swing, especially given this crazy winter weather we’ve been having. I guess I couldn’t have picked a better time to release the second book in the Katie series called Katie and the Magic Umbrella:On Snowflake Trail. It teaches kids about blizzards, how [...]
I love it when mother nature cooperates with my forecast! North Texas woke up to its first snowfall of the season today. Might seem a bit early, but just 2 years ago we had snow on Thanksgiving Day. Remember that? What fun to see the snow piling up on rooftops this morning.. and we didn’t [...]
After a string of seasonably cool, sunny days a strong cold front arrives in North Texas early this afternoon. A few storms are possible, but the biggest change will come with the gusty north winds that will pick up this afternoon and evening and take temperatures down sharply overnight tonight. Monday will be dry and [...]
