Weather struck my interest at an early age. When I was 6 years old, a tornado hit my aunt's neighborhood in Cincinnati. Since then, I've turned my fear of storms into a fascination. Not only am I not scared of storms anymore…I go out and chase them!

Although, I write in detail the weather forecasts almost everyday, it’s not your typical weather blog.  I’ll also share some interesting articles that are floating around the meteorological community, some interesting websites as well as my thoughts on environmental global issues.  I hope you enjoy it and I would love to hear some feed back from ya!
