I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
Hi, Scoopz. It can vary from city to city. Some might be more interested in how much you know about meteorology, or snow vs. severe weather vs. hurricanes. Some are give a bigger nod to being telegenic. Also, in some markets research is done on air talent with focus groups. One of more important factors can be involvement in the community, also web and social media skills. Thanks.

Hi, Ginny. A little terminology disconnect here, thanks for asking! A storm has fronts associated with it, so that storm had both. Typically a storm will have a cold front (the blue line you see on weather maps), the leading edge of colder air, usually moving south, and a warm front (the red line on weather maps), the leading edge of warmer air. Air flows toward the center of a storm (that big "L" you see on weather maps) and the system rotates counterclockwise. The winter storm names you have heard the last two years are a creation of The Weather Channel and not used by the rest of the weather community. There is a great online weather dictionary maintained by The National Weather Serivice at, http://w1.weather.gov/glossary/ if you would like to look up some terms. Great question, thanks!

Hi, Debi-Not a "dome" really. Patterns can be influenced by the landscape. I would guess your area might be influenced by the sea breeze and the shape of the coastline. Thanks!

Well, Bill. As a "science guy", I know that photons don't drink and would never be caught in a bar. (rimshot)

What brand do you think has the poorest quality / workmanship?
Yes, Ron. Not my favorite presentation since it washes out and minimizes the data, but producers and managers get bored easily sometimes.

Yes! This is caused by a lunar eclipse. Recently the term "blood moon" has been used on social media giving it some new life. Thanks!

Great question, Patricia. Miami is one of the southern most place in the US, making it one of the farthest places from the source region of cold air. Also, it is basically surrounded by water on three sides. With the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico so close there is more moisture in the air and moist air does not cool as much.
