Hurricane Central / Major Hurricane Joaquin
« on: September 30, 2015, 11:23:16 PM »
I know it's been dead here lately, but I don't know how in the world we've gone this long without talking about this BEAST of a hurricane which is a potential threat for everyone from GA to New England. Flooding will likely be the biggest headline come this weekend/next week if model guidance is correct on the track. Joaquin is expected to peak to Category 4 intensity (140mph) before weakening to a Category 2 approaching the NC/VA border this weekend according to NHC's current 11pm track.

OCMs & Personalities / Kim Cunningham Freelancing as Weekend Met in Atlanta
« on: September 30, 2015, 01:37:42 PM »
I saw someone mention this at another forum and had to look it up for myself, but according to this article I did find, Kim Cunningham is freelancing as a weekend met for Atlanta's CBS affiliate WGCL-TV (a.k.a CBS46) According to the article, the previous weekend met Paul Ossman was promoted to weekday mornings to tag team with the current weekday morning met Jennifer Valdez which left the weekend slot open. Like the article mentions if CBS46 is smart, they would keep Kim.

« on: May 06, 2015, 09:02:31 AM »
Were still a few weeks from the official start of hurricane season, but we already have moderate interest churning off the SE coast that could affect folks from GA to NC by this Mother's Day weekend. If it receives a name, it will be "Ana".

She's leaving FL to head back to her home state as a weekend met for WISH-TV. That's gonna be a big climate shock after being accustomed to FL weather for so long.
