We're bracing for wild swings in the weather today with the possibility of tornadoes between 3 and 9 p.m. today.

And we take a deep dive into Pennsylvania’s wildlife crossings and corridors:

Joining WITF’s Karen Hendricks in conversation today is Stephanie Wein of the nonprofit advocacy group PennEnvironment which has long studied wildlife crossings and corridors, along with habitat fragmentation.

And one more related story to put on your radar: We are in a special window of time when thousands of snow geese touch down every year at a Lebanon County reservoir.
