It has been a while since I have had the chance to post a blog on here, but this is something to definitely write about. From October 11-16, I was in Louisville, KY for the annual National Weather Association (NWA) Conference. Members from different National Weather Service offices, television meteorologists, and those in other [...]

Today was a very productive day as I taped two one minute segments that can be used for my resume tape. Tony offered some very good feedback as I continue to hone my skills.

Tony and I then watch Star Trek: Voyager and worked on a new State College Spikes forecast graphic.

Today has been a slow day at WJAC as there is no noon news due to Wimbledon.

Today turned into an interesting day when severe thunderstorm warnings went out for Jefferson, Clarion, and Forest Counties.
