Happy vernal equinox! 🍀 Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.

while continuing my work as a meteorologist on weekday shows. Southwest Florida has truly become home to me, and I’m so grateful to stay in the community that has supported me along the way. I’ll share more details soon about when you can catch me during the week. 💛

PERSONAL NEWS! 💛 After nearly 3 years, today is my last day waking up with you on weekend mornings at WINK News. This isn’t goodbye…just a promotion! I’m excited to be moving to weekdays and stepping into a new leadership role as Supervisor of Digital Content Integration (1)

Yay!! Welcome!!!!

The #NationalFire burning in Florida has now exploded to 25,000 acres in size. The #wildfire ignited yesterday in Big Cypress National Preserve and @NOAA's #GOESEast (#GOES19) 🛰️ has been tracking the smoke plume and heat from the blaze. @NWSMiami is cautioning residents about low visibilities due to dense smoke.

Fires are now getting DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to State Road 29. If you have to drive through here, proceed with caution! #wx #flwx @NWSMiami @NationalWldfire @BrandonOrrWPLG @MattDevittWX @WeatherWithLaur @WeatherProf @cFishFL @FLStormChasers_

That control room !!!

Please join me in celebrating our 156th birthday. The National Weather Service was created by a joint resolution of Congress on February 9, 1870. From a telegraph to issuing our first Advisory from the cloud yesterday, our public safety/national security mission stands strong to safeguard lives, property, and the economy. I’m humbled to lead this 24/7 team that goes above and beyond every day.

Iconic!!!!!

@SamRobertsWX Excited for what’s next for you!!!!

Cleveland, I 🫶 you always and forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Staggering duration of tonight’s Hard #Freeze - Much of Florida’s Farmers will see 6-12 hours of temperatures below 32°. It is going to be a very challenging, sleepless few nights ahead. Know that we are thinking of you! Anyone with gardens/ sensitive plants should take precautions! Pets inside. #florida #cold #snow
