Bob Johns (born 1942 in Lebanon, Indiana) is an American meteorologist specializing in severe convective storms and tornadoes. Johns spent his career in forecasting and forecaster training. Now retired, he is working on a project reanalyzing the Tri-State Tornado. He furthered forecasting techniques and developed the modern conceptualization of the derecho following landmark work on “northwest flow” severe weather patterns. Johns also introduced the enhanced wording "particularly dangerous situation" (PDS) to tornado watches for the 2 April 1982 tornado outbreak.

“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
