Emmy Award–winning broadcast meteorologist. Nearly 20 years forecasting on TV. Founder of Travel Weather Forecast.
I'm an Emmy Award–winning broadcast meteorologist. For nearly 20 years I've been forecasting weather on TV — Peoria, Albuquerque, Sacramento, and since 2015 the morning shift at CBS 5 and 3TV in Phoenix. That means reading models before sunrise, tracking what's coming in, and turning it into a forecast people can actually plan around. Along the way I've covered flash floods, blizzards, tornadoes, wildfires, drought, and more heat waves than I can count.
Why this site exists
Most YouTube travel content focuses on food, sights, and destinations. Weather usually gets a sentence or two — if that.
Travel Weather Forecast is the opposite: fast, easy-to-understand videos focused entirely on travel weather. Highs, lows, what to pack, what to plan around, month by month, city by city.
New cities are added regularly.
