The Weather Underground hits live TV today, when the inaugural episode of the Weather Underground live cable TV show airs from 6-8 p.m. EDT Monday, August 24 on The Weather Channel (TWC). I’m in Atlanta today to help launch this unique effort, which aims appeal to everyone’s inner weather geek by focusing on the science behind weather and forecasting. TWC is really making an impressive effort on this, complete with a custom set built to look like an underground bar, an original theme song of Seattle-grunge type music, and state-of-the art 3D visual presentations. Hosted by Emmy-award winning TWC meteorologist Mike Bettes, the show will air weekdays from 6 - 8 pm Eastern time. Both Bob Henson and I will be featured twice this week. Bob is scheduled to go Tuesday and Thursday from our San Francisco office; I will appear today (in the Atlanta studio) and Friday (via Skype from my Michigan office.) San Francisco-based Weather Underground meteorologists Jim Menard, Shaun Tanner, and John Celenza are also scheduled to appear during the first two weeks of the show. There will periodically be guest appearances from other severe weather experts and WU community members (personal weather station owners and bloggers.) Each show will aim to promote a unique feature of the Weather Underground web site, like the latest blog post by Bob or myself, WunderPhotos, or personal weather stations. Breaking weather events will be the main focus, but climate change stories will also occasionally be featured.

I take the opposite approach: Anyone who says the words "Global Warming" should be summarily shot.
Does that mean THE WEATHER CHANNEL will again be broadcasting weather and not entertainment documentaries as they did after NBC bought it?
This!
CA....
Of all the possible names to call your company and website, why that one?
Maybe "Weather Jihad" was already copyrighted?
WeatherUnderground is a little geeky in that it's composed of thousands of backyard weather stations. Including the one in this weather-geek's backyard.
Yep, he is a GW pimp.
I do like WU, though, without the political nonsense.
Same, but his recent parroting of the “science” concluding we had the hottest year on record was maddening.
FYI...Jeff Masters, the PHD A-hole who runs Weatherundeground, is even to the left of Al Gore.
They're probably saving "Weather Jihad" for the second half of "Global Warming" when Gaia starts fighting back.
dear bfloguy,
well, congratulations!
In the bayous, we have the cold Southern oaks, with all the leaves or the hint of snow every so many years on the leaves. Then we have the hot Southern oaks, very humid, very hot temperatures. Finally, we have the hurricane season, where the Southern oaks might not be standing, but still have the leaves, and about five feet more of water than we had in the cold time.
I think another group of the same bunch of people now own both of the networks.
Maybe they will change it. Maybe nothing will change. Nothing at all.
We shall see. I watched part of their go-live show. It was slightly more interesting than they usually are, so far I’d say they’re improving.
We shall see. Already heard them talk about “global warming” which was a huge turnoff.
