Brad nbc meteorologist12/12/2023 I ended up being in the middle of the worst Hurricanes in U.S. history, Hurricane Katrina. Talk about heavy rain! In 2005 I actually went back to help out my old station before a hurricane I spent more than three years there, chasing hurricanes and rainstorms that often flooded the city. I soon was moving to the Big Easy as the weekend meteorologist at WWL-TV, the CBS affiliate on the Gulf Coast. Not 15 months later I was attending a weather conference and was asked if I’d like to work in New Orleans. I was to be their first Chief Meteorologist in Traverse City, They asked me to start an entire weather department from the ground up. Soon another station came calling - this time a smaller market at a FOX affiliate that offered a unique opportunity. It was the best spring break I could have imagined.Īfter OSU I landed a job at the NBC station in Dayton, Ohio doing the morning shift. During my junior and senior years at OSU I was able to chase tornadoes with my fellow students and professors during Spring quarter. So naturally I attended The Ohio State University (by the way, 2002 National Champs in Football!). I then picked my college based on the meteorology program. Not to mention the thing I love about weather the most is sharing my passion with others, even if they think I’m kind of strange. I was really blown away by all the computers and technology the TV meteorologist used and I really enjoyed making graphics. But at Copley High School in Copley, Ohio I got to take part in a mentorship program with a TV meteorologist and a National Weather Service meteorologist. Plus, those TV guys were always wrong and really weren’t trained meteorologists (so I thought – wrongly, as it turned out some were). I wanted to be a scientist, not some “TV weather guy,” I wanted to chase storms and do research. My parents thought I was crazy, but they soon realized I really loved this stuff!īy the time I was 6 years old I knew I wanted to be a meteorologist. I love thunderstorms, tornadoes, blizzards and hurricanes. Growing up outside of Cleveland, Ohio I’ve always been fascinated by severe weather. Brad Panovich Chief Meteorologist at WCNC-NBC TV
