    <title>The Isobar</title>
    <language>en</language>
    <copyright>2026 Fox 6 Milwaukee</copyright>
    <description>Dive deep into the fascinating, complex, and sometimes devastating world of weather with "The Isobar: The Highs and Lows of Meteorology." This science-driven podcast is hosted by Rob Haswell (Fox Milwaukee), joined by fellow Fox Chief Meteorologists Emily Wahls (Fox Chicago), Rich Luterman (Fox Detroit), and other expert weather guests.



Together, this formidable team leverages their combined decades of experience forecasting for the challenging Midwestern climate.



In each episode, we explore:

-The Severe Stuff: How major weather events unfold, from devastating tornadoes to the mechanics of flash floods and elusive water spouts. We analyze recent storms and their real-world impact on communities.

-Deep Weather Forecasting: We go beyond the 7-day outlook. Get in-depth analysis of evolving weather patterns and exclusive long-range temperature and precipitation forecasts you won’t find elsewhere.

-Science, Lore &amp; History: Uncover the captivating history of meteorology, separate weather lore from scientific fact, and understand the historical context of major climate events.



 "The Isobar" is for the curious minds - the science nerds, weather enthusiasts, and anyone who looks at the sky and wants to know why it's doing that. Our tone is professional and educational yet deeply conversational, allowing the personalities of our veteran meteorologists to shine through, even when the topic gets lighter.



Join Rob, Emily, Rich, and their colleagues as they decode the atmosphere. "The Isobar: The Highs and Lows of Meteorology" - listen and understand the weather like never before.</description>

      <title>Lights Out Thanks to Summer Storms?</title>
      <description>Host Rob Haswell (Fox 6 Milwaukee) reunites with Chief Meteorologists Emily Wahls (Fox 32 Chicago) and Rich Luterman (Fox 2 Detroit) for another eye-opening episode of The Isobar. The team dives deep into the unprecedented 2026 severe weather season that has shattered all-time tornado records across Illinois and brought historic numbers to Wisconsin. Emily breaks down the catastrophic August 11th derecho, detailing the 100 mph straight-line winds, weeks-long power outages, and lasting impacts on communities in Illinois and Indiana.&amp;nbsp; Then the team ponders the degrading effects all the severe weather is having on our power grid.



Meanwhile, Rich provides a surprisingly calm update from Detroit, sharing fascinating video of a rare Great Lakes waterspout off Harsens Island. The trio then shifts focus to the bigger picture: analyzing the Pacific's sudden outbreak of tropical activity near Hawaii, examining the National Hurricane Center's newly updated storm surge and hazard communication maps, and discussing how severe weather is expanding beyond traditional boundaries. Finally, they address the mounting infrastructure challenges, regional droughts, and whether a calm autumn is finally on the horizon for the Midwest.
