Meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin catch up from opposite sides of the Atlantic as they break down the weather and science stories grabbing their attention this week.Emily shares her experience watching the partial solar eclipse from cloudy Scotland, including a very Scottish eclipse celebration complete with bagpipers. They also talk about why weather and cloud cover can make or break an eclipse viewing experience.Back in the U.S., Kerrin recaps a major severe weather event, including widespread hurricane-force wind gusts, extensive damage and a 99 mph wind gust in Indiana. Severe thunderstorms also brought wind gusts over 100 mph to parts of the Dakotas.In the tropics, the Atlantic has quieted down for now, but Tropical Storm Lala in the Central Pacific has Hawaii's attention, with hurricane watches and the potential for significant rainfall, flooding and mudslides.And because this is Weekly Weather Brief, they finish by looking up at the night sky for the Perseid meteor shower, while Kerrin casually drops a milestone birthday into the conversation.Tune in for 10 minutes of weather, science, space and plenty of laughs from two meteorologists who still love talking about what's happening in the atmosphere.Links mentioned: Solar Eclipse on Satellite
