The Weather Company’s primary journalistic mission is to report on breaking weather news, the environment and the importance of science to our lives.

I also teamed up with the editors of Outdoor Life magazine to write a book called The Extreme Weather Survival Manual, which came out in October 2015. He received his Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Florida State University as well as a Bachelor of Science in Management from Georgia Institute of Technology. 6″ to 12″ are possible into Monday with Winter Storm Watches issued.
