Hi, Drew. Usually a warmer water discussion is relevant for hurricanes. I would use these resources. Good luck! http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ http://www.spc.noaa.gov/

Does your job get repetitive, and what do you do to make relaying the short-term weather forecast interesting?

Asked by Jackson almost 11 years ago

Not too bad. There are always subtle differences in the day to day forecast if you care to go looking for them that don't show up on TV. Also, most TV folks do public appearances so we go different places. Good question, never had that one. Thanks!

I have a burning question which is really bothering me. In Rhode Island, sunset times are usually earlier than in Fort Myers, Florida because of the rotation of the earth and the light from the sun. But, sunset times are showing almost the same. Why?

Hmmm...not really my area of expertise. I'd say distance into the time zone and latitude/curvature of the earth must. Thx

Thanks for asking. Was always interested in clouds and the sky and when I began to study and learn how much was going on up there I just kept going. Take care!

Is it possible to go a whole summer without a serve thunderstorm? I'm not talking about in a desert but a normal city or town that has lots of rain though out the year.

Asked by Curious weather man almost 10 years ago

Certainly possible but less likely in some regions of the country. Severe weather is more likely through the southern and central plains and the southeast. A storm is considered severe if it produces hail to one inch and/or 58 mph winds.

How did you become a weather man?

Asked by Ms. Muise's 3rd graders about 10 years ago

I started my career as a disc jockey on the radio. The weatherman at a local TV station and I became friends and he got me involved in a correspondence course in meteorology at Mississippi State University. I interned with him while taking the course and practiced being on TV. After completing that course I became the weekend meteorologist at my friend's station and have been doing it at several stations for about 25 years now. Thanks for asking!
