Our Guest
Rick Smith, Warning Coordinator Meteorologist, NWS-Norman, OK
I’m one of the few and the proud to receive a degree from the very short-lived meteorology program at the University of Memphis. While finishing up college, I worked as a Student Volunteer, and then got a paid student position and eventually a full time meteorologist intern position at my hometown NWS office in Memphis. In 1997, I moved to Tulsa, OK to be a forecaster, and moved again in 1999 to work in the NWS Southern Region headquarters in Fort Worth. I was selected to be the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at NWS Norman – my dream job – in January of 2002, and I’ve been here ever since. Co-host on the Weather Brains Podcast.

Our Guest
William Cole, meteorologist and creator of Oklahoma Weather Tracker TV.
Oklahoma Weather Tracker TV was founded in 2009 as OklahomaWeatherTracker.com. Founder and Chief Meteorologist William Cole noticed a lack of LIVE online weather information available in Oklahoma. William made it his goal to change that and OklahomaWeatherTracker.com was launched as a simple and easy to navigate website with minimal advertisements featuring an abundance of Live Oklahoma weather information such as Live Radars, Live Conditions, a Live Blog, Forecasts and much more. OklahomaWeatherTracker.com has generated a huge following on Facebook and Twitter over the years. The Oklahoma Weather Tracker mobile app was created on the same principles; an easy to naviagate app that puts Live Oklahoma weather information at the finger tips of Oklahoman's.
In late March of 2016 Oklahoma Weather Tracker TV became available nationwide on Apple TV, Roku and Google Chromecast also on Amazon Fire TV.
