  Fox News Radio Special: The Next Disaster

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Hi everyone!

  I’m hosting a Fox News Radio Special called “The Next Disaster” this Memorial Day weekend.  You can hear it here first:

  http://radio.foxnews.com/2013/05/23/the-next-disaster-a-fox-news-radio-special/

  

  In light of the recent EF5 tornado in Moore Oklahoma, it’s certainly a timely and informative collection of reports.  Not only does it focus on how accurate forecasts are in predicting severe weather…but we also look at other kinds of disasters, such as earthquakes, terror attacks, and flu epidemics.

  Give it a listen, and let me know what you think.  I’m very proud of it!

  Severe weather outbreak through Monday!

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Hi everyone.

  Want to get right to the severe weather that is expected over the weekend and into Monday.

  

  We’ve got a very powerful storm moving out of the Rockies that will bring large hail, damaging winds and perhaps many destructive tornadoes from North Texas to Western Minnesota.  Tonight  through the overnight Western Oklahoma into Southwest Nebraska needs to be particularly alert for dangerous storms.

  

  Tomorrow the risk moves east with cities like Oklahoma City Wichita and Kansas City in the bullseye for tornadoes. 

  

  Monday the system pushes into the Great Lakes and Ohio valley. 

  

  Also keep in mind a lot of these storms will fire up in the overnight hours when it’s dark and people are sleeping, so if you live in any of these areas, please keep alert, and have your NOAA weather radios on.

  This could be a very dangerous and life threatening weather event, so cities across the Plains and Midwest need to pay close attention to the watches and warnings over the next 72 hours.

  We’ll keep you up to date with the latest watches and warnings through the storms, but also be listening to your local weather stations and the National Weather Service.

  Be safe all!

  Mother's Day

  Janice Dean | Meteorologist

  Hello everyone!

  Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and it’s hard to put into words what being a Mom is for me.   I spent my twenties and much of my thirties chasing careers, moving to different places and being happy for the most part.   When I met my husband,  a whole new path was set out before me.  I had finally found a partner, and someone I could share a journey with.   Then we decided to try and have a family.  We were first blessed with Matthew and then two years later Theodore. 

  Being their Mama is the biggest joy I’ve ever experienced.  I still look at them in awe and can’t believe Sean and I made these two little miracles.  They are living, breathing examples of our love for one another.    When I hug them close, it still feels like they are part of me.   When I make them laugh, it’s the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.  When they fall asleep in my arms, it’s the most comforting feeling I’ve ever known. 

  So yes, even though I am looking forward to a few extra hours of sleep, a little extra sweet stuff for dessert and maybe a home-made card for my keepsake box,  the best part of Mother’s Day is sharing the day with the people that mean the most to me.  My beautiful family.   When I see their faces, I know I am truly home.
