To my NWS friends: I’m sorry people do not give the credit y’all deserve. I’m sorry y’all are being let go. You don’t deserve it. I see you. I cannot fix what is happening, but I am here to listen if you need to vent or cry.
I hate that this has to be said. The @NWS is critical for American weather safety. Period. I have personally met and know dozens of meteorologists from NWS offices across the country. They are driven, caring people who have spent years and sometimes decades serving the public.
I am extremely blessed and humbled to have been voted as the “Best Local Weather Anchor” and “Local TV Personality” in Charleston, SC for the @postandcourier 2024 Charleston’s Choice Awards!
Thank you to everyone who took the time out to vote for me!
Ever wondered just how large a radar tower's radome is? Here's a photo of some of our staff members standing next to it for reference! The radome was temporarily removed this morning so the radar pedestal can be replaced as part of the NEXRAD Service Life Extension Program.
July 4, 1776:
Thomas Jefferson noted his observations of the day's weather in Philadelphia. At 1 PM, the temperature in the city was 76°. Not even the founding of America stopped Jefferson from recording the weather in his journal.

If you're curious what the stratosphere feels like, look no further than the #MtWashington summit (6289 ft). Closest sounding today had a tropopause much lower than that (~4200 ft).
Current conditions there? -35F, 101mph wind with 114mph gusts (that's a -92F windchill). 🥶
