1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel Do you believe these characters are weirdos?

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: My name is Nigel Jason Hammer right over there with

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: a very special guest on the hotline.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: We yell at this guy a lot when the weather

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 3: is crappy, so I feel like sometimes we have to

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: tip our hat to him when we've had some pretty

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: good days.

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 2: Been amazing.

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 3: Marcus Bailey, meteorologists for WISH TV eight.

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 4: Marcus, how were you?

11
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, guys, Good to be with you on

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: a nice mile Tuesday afternoon.

13
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 4: Now.

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: I was watching earlier this morning, Marcus, and did I

15
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: hear you say you were out bike riding?

16
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 4: You're one of those biker guys. You are doing that?

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: No, No, Like the most exercise I do is I

18
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: walk sometimes and I play golf. That's that's about it.

19
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: Okay, because I swear I thought I heard you say

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: something about bikes.

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 4: Maybe.

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Sarah, she was probably out riding a bike.

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: She like, she's very outdoorsy and stuff like that. My

24
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: outdoorsy is kind of like in the same realm as you, guys.

25
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: It's sitting in a nice chair and bending my arm.

26
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, twelve curls.

27
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: Sure, that's right, because the visual of you in all spandex,

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: you know, riding around the neighborhood.

29
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: Yeah.

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody was ready for that.

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: No, and that's probably not that I'm going to talk

32
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: about on TV. There's FCC regulations.

33
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: Let's get into it here.

34
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: There's a chance we could have uh some severe weather tonight.

35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: I feel like it's probably more north than maybe central Indie.

36
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: What are we talking about?

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know, I know you guys geek out

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: over this central Illinois to northern Indiana. So basically from

39
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: your picture in a map Peoria to like east of

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: South Bend is in like a They upgrade at the

41
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: risk to a level four out of five risks for

42
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: severe weather possibility in that zone for large tornado. So yes, Hamry,

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: you're right, that's gonna be kind of bullseye for the

44
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: worst severe weather. Now that said, our entire state does

45
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: have a risk for severe weather over the next we'll

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: call it twelve to eighteen hours. But I don't think

47
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: we're going to see those isolated discrete super cells that

48
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna see in that level four area. For Indie.

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: We're in a level two. That's still not anything to

50
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: say that it still could get pretty rough, but we

51
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: just don't have kind of the dynamics for maybe, you know,

52
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: the outbreak that potentially is going to happen within the

53
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: next three to four hours, starting in central Illinois and

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: then going up in the northern Indiana. But there's going

55
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: to be kind of an overnight event and that always

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: can get squirrely early on in the year, and everybody's

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: going to be sleeping for the most part. So that's

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: why we want to make sure everybody is aware, make

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: sure you have ways to get alerts. We may get

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: a line or this line of storms impacting the metro

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: area as early as maybe two or three in the morning,

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: and may be closer to four or five in the

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: morning tomorrow morning, where it can be kind of a

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: damaging wind threat. But yeah, it's going to be kind

65
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: of a long duration event, depending on where you are

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: at here, coming up over the next twelve day to

67
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: fifteen hours or so.

68
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: So we're talking overnight hours tonight, closer to the morning hours.

69
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: And after that.

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: I think we're not going to see the seventies for

71
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: quite a while, is that correct?

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: I know we've been I mean, listen, we're tying records,

73
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: we tie the record yesterday. We're probably going to tie

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: one today, So seventies. I mean, it just shows you

75
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: that it is a rarity this early in March. There

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: is a lot of ups and downs, which is kind

77
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: of the culprit for why we're going to have these

78
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: stronger storms. Our numbers will tumble after kind of this

79
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: cold front moves through tomorrow morning, so we'll likely at

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: are high when you're heading off to work in school

81
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning into the upper sixties, and then it kind

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: of falls off, will fall to highs in the upper

83
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: forties on Thursday, which that is at for the simmer.

84
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: That's how spoiled we've been the last few days. But

85
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: then we do bounce back. I think, you know, mid

86
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: and upper fifties Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we could be

87
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: closer to sixties. So it's it's it's an up and

88
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: down if you go early. It gets cold too.

89
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was gonna say, I heard rumors of flurries

90
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: next week.

91
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, is that right?

92
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: That is correct? Yeah, So I think Monday, probably Monday

93
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: and Tuesday's the coldest stretch in this extended Tuesday, of

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: course of Saint Patrick's Day. I think it's gonna be

95
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have probably some light snow showers.

96
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't see anything significant out of that, but we'll

97
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: probably only have highes in the thirties Monday and Tuesdays.

98
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: So this is the time of year you have these

99
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: big swings and temperatures. That's why I mean the severe

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: weather season when it gets active in March and April,

101
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: because you have such of these big swings here coming up.

102
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's going to be the case absolutely over

103
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: the next seven to ten days.

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 4: And Marcus, you mentioned severe weather earlier.

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Today there was like a test siren that went off,

106
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: and I don't think a lot of people knew it

107
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 3: was a test. A lot of people thought, you know,

108
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: we might be having severe weather today, and that bad

109
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: boy fired off, and I think it scared people.

110
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: It does, and I think a lot of times, you

111
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: know what this is. It is severe Weather Preparedness Week

112
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: over the entire state of Indiana, and they do the

113
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: state wide tornado drill typically on Tuesday to ten fifteen.

114
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes when there is severe weather in the forecast, they

115
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: will delay that because of what you just said. They

116
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: don't want to add to the confusion. I think the

117
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: thought process was that we've tried to and maybe we

118
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: didn't do a great enough job of trying to inform

119
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: people that this was going to be a late night

120
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: in overnight event, that this was not going to be

121
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: tornado sirens that are actually alerting for actual severe weather.

122
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: That's probably where the confusion came from. But I think,

123
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, the people that were in charge and wanted

124
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: to do that probably thought there was enough window between

125
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the test time and when we would actually have that

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: severe weather window for tonight that hopefully wouldn't create too

127
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: much confusion. But this, it was just just a test

128
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: that all municipalities participate in to gear up for severe

129
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: weather season. Test the sirens, test the alert system as well.

130
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: Have you ever had to go down in the basement

131
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: before because of a late night weather event? Hammer You

132
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: can answer that too, because I have.

133
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 4: I remember it didn't.

134
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: Last long, but I was down in the basement with

135
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: the kids, woke them up. Our phones were going off,

136
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: the TV, our TVs had like our TVs were off,

137
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: but they were making noise. So it was like, you know,

138
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: we live in Boone County. Have you ever have you

139
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: ever had to take evasive action?

140
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: So I've got a couple of stories real quick. One

141
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm not real proud of, but it happened recently, and

142
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: it was actually on a day off were fully sat

143
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: I was TV and I actually got the tornado warning

144
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: down in Johnson County where I live, and I was

145
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: that guy and just went outside and looked.

146
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 4: Yep, right there with you, Marcus.

147
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Put my hand on my hip, and I said, yeah,

148
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: that's debris on the ground. So I'm yelling at my

149
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: kids get in the bathroom. And while they're all getting

150
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: in the bathroom and hunkering down, I'm still just standing

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: on a patios there.

152
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: Now I get it.

153
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: So yeah.

154
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: And then all the time I grew up in Liston,

155
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: Indiana in the woods, Yeah, my dad would sit out

156
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: there during horrific storms and just watch on the front porch.

157
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: And then the other story was it was actually at

158
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: my previous job, you know, probably fifteen years ago in Pueri, Illinois.

159
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: We were doing sear weather covers. Didn't have a basement,

160
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: and we had a rotation and a confirmed tornado earlier

161
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: on the ground that literally was going right over the station.

162
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: So we all went to the men's bathroom and I

163
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: just was live on television with a microphone on, and

164
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: I was hoping no one would flush, and I just continued.

165
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: With standing right next to the urinal Like in my mind,
