The podcast is a simple audio forecast from our weather team, a file you can play on your computer, portable music player, or anything else that supports the MP3 format. To hear the podcast on your computer, you can click the link above directly.
The best way to get the file is to install a program like Ipodder which uses our RSS feed and automatically downloads the file onto your computer whenever it is updated.
Here is the RSS link you need for Ipodder, or similar programs:

You can download IPodder free here:

We have been doing audio files for radio stations for many years; we are simply introducing an MP3 audio forecast for the general public!
Many of you downloaded the podcast audio file directly last night; you might want to try Ipodder or a similar program and see how the RSS automatic feed works. You can also use the RSS feed to bring in the latest posts from this blog on many different ways. I use an add-on to Microsoft Outlook called IntraVNews that allows posts on blogs to roll in just like e-mail messages. Many weather sites have RSS, including the Storm Prediction Center.
I will probably make our twice daily video update available by RSS soon!
