The rain is moving out just in time for the weekend…and the forecast couldn’t be better for the upcoming Texas Country Reporter Festival in Waxahachie this Saturday.
It’s a one day, all-day event and I’m so excited to be a part of it! I’ve known Bob Phillips for years and attended as part of the CBS11 [...]
That’s what my friend Heywood at 95.9 The Ranch called it today. Of course, he’s kidding. But it has been a very wet fall. I’ve had so many people ask why has it been so wet lately.
The short answer…an unusually active jet stream that’s been unusually far south for this time of year.
It could be [...]
Dust off those winter jackets and dig around in your closet…by late this weekend, you’ll be needing that coat and sweater…
An unusually strong, early-season arctic front is beginning to march across Montana and Wyoming tonight. I just spoke with my mother who lives in NW Montana, and she told me that they are forecasting lows [...]
Two cold fronts will impact North Texas this week. The first one arrives this afternoon bringing most of us a good shot at storms. Heavy rain and a few storms may contain hail. The best chance for severe weather will be near the Red River this morning and near and south of the DFW area [...]
It began Friday and hasn’t stopped since. I think it’s been nearly 2 years since we’ve had 3-4 days of almost non-stop rain in the metroplex. One thing’s for sure…this kind of rain has finally made my husband I do something about our leaky fireplace in the master bedroom!
Take a look at this map provided [...]
I’m enjoying my new role as chief meteorologist (Heywood calls me Admiral) on the Ranch Radio. That’s 95.9FM on the dial in the DFW Metroplex. The wonderful thing about it is I can be chief from home in my PJ’s and slippers! Well, not really.
It’s called Kristine’s Corner…
Every Friday morning around 7:45am …I [...]
Climate change is a very hot topic and a controversial one. I don’t know of many other issues other than abortion and taxes that stir up such emotion and angst in people.
I have spent hours researching the data myself and have even put together an educational program geared to help my audience understand both sides [...]
Isn’t this photo amazing?
These are Morning Glory Clouds….taken Aug 24th, 2009.
This photo was taken by Mick Petroff from his airplane over the Gulf of Carpenteria in Austrailia where these rare clouds occur every spring. Remember, it is spring in the southern hemisphere!
We aren’t quite clear on how they form, but a general explanation is: when [...]

Some of the topics include: Constructive Forces…Destructive Forces…Earth’s Resources…Sun-Moon_Earth interaction and new to TEKS…Weather!
That’s [...]
After nearly 2 years of writing, marketing and promoting a children’s book, I’ve started a new chapter in my business plan….reaching out to the retail world. Instead of relying on just my national distributor, who primarily sells my book the book trade. It has become clear that I need to do more to get [...]
