Updated: 11:16 PM The end of hurricane season is in site, but we still have a month and change to go. Even if we do not see another storm we have to stay weather aware for all types of weather.
Posted: 8:38 PM After some beneficial rainfall from Tropical Storm Lee it looked like our drought situation was going to get better. Then the bad news came... the drought causing weather pattern called La Nina is back for another round.
Updated: 11:18 PM Last week my wife and I each took the entire week off and decided to be a tourist in Northwest Florida.... and boy did we have a blast!
Updated: 8:20 PM With Northwest Florida in the midst of a terrible drought there are signs of progress as we move into the dog days of summer.
Posted: 12:13 AM Ever since the 'Unofficial' start to summer over the Memorial Weekend the temperatures have been downright brutal over NW Florida. The good news is there appears to be some rain and temperature relief on the way!
Posted: 11:43 PM The experts have weighed in and it looks like 2011 will be another very active hurricane season. But as we found out last year... just because it is busy does not mean we will be impacted. That said... it only takes 1 storm to have a very bad hurricane season.
Posted: 11:42 PM Severe weather has pummeled parts of the plains into south on the past 2 days. That same storm system will move into Northwest Florida Wednesday night. Will it bring severe weather though?
Updated: 8:11 PM With the recent disaster in Japan... could something similar happen here in Northwest Florida? That was the question I was asked at a recent Panama City Rotary Club Meeting... here is what I had to share.
Posted: 11:36 PM In recent weeks fog has been a huge issue here in Northwest Florida... especially along the coast. It has probably made you think you were living in San Francisco rather than NW Florida. What has been causing the fog?
Updated: 8:42 AM For one morning I got to experience what it was like to be a Bay County Firefighter as I went through the same training, in the same gear as fire fighting hero's!

Posted: 12:02 AM Although La Nina typically means warmer and drier weather across Northwest Florida... the latest climate outlook says the coldness of December is expected to linger into 2011.
Posted: 1:08 PM Santa Claus is on his way to Northwest Florida. Where is he now? We are tracking him every step of the way!
Updated: 11:41 PM One week ago the 2010 hurricane season officially ended... some people claimed predictions of a busy season were wrong.... but in actuality... forecasts were dead on.
Posted: 11:58 PM Recent rains are certainly appreciated, but as a whole, it has not been enough and it is too little too late for the farmers.
Posted: 11:46 PM With this recent cold snap I have noticed a big difference in the temperature being reported at the new airport compared to other coastal locations south of the bays.
Posted: 11:33 PM So far we have been very lucky when it comes to an increasingly active 2010 hurricane season, but is our luck about to run out. We may see a pattern change that will push systems closer to the U.S. by the end of the month.

Updated: 2:00 AM The past 2 months have been some of the most frustrating of my television career because of the leak that continues to flow in the Gulf of Mexico...

Updated: 9:59 AM While everyone is really excited about the move to the new airport in west bay... the place where we record and observe the 'official' weather is also moving.
