My Favorite Weather Man

[Myr]

This is my favorite weatherman.  (he's 22). He's a very weather geek

 

[drpaladin]

Oh my. He's great.

You cradle robber you...  

I do love my nerdstar's with glasses. Not so much into blondes, but I'll allow it.

if Gerald’s looking for a Daddy he might want to check out gay mag Attitude’s 2010 front cover, BBC’s Tomasz Schafernaker (47), who’s been distracting weather watchers ever since he started presenting aged 22 …

First guy?  YES!!!!!

Second guy? Hard No, gross, not attractive for me at all.  Blech

I love how all of these Social Media meteorologists all have the same thumbnail and presentations. When I clicked on the link I expected to see one of two that I sometimes follow whenever severe weather is happening somewhere in the States. Weather, forecasting, and general meteorology has been an interest of mine since I was about ten years old and we had a near miss with a tornado whilst in elementary school. 

But anyway, calm down and let the guy talk about the snow storm and whatever else he has to say.

You are all nerds! . 

Who watches YouTube meteorologists?  I still think you are fabulous, but we might now be on equal footing. Powerwise, in our order, which is currently on hiatus.  

Full disclosure, when I need to check the weather, I stick my head out the window. That's a lie, my windows don't open. 

When I need to check the weather, I walk outside. That's another lie, I don't walk anywhere, I drive. 

I never check the weather. 

 

EDITED: Remember, I'm attracted to nerds!

I do. we get a lot of weather around here.  

He's got his contacts in today.

Firstly, I still think you all are nerds!   

But the second part was directed at the Fabulous One, @Krista.  Or FO for short.

I am the founding member of the Sacred Knights of Trolling Krista, who, at the moment, is currently on hiatus as I wait for her next story. We have banners and everything if you're interested in becoming a member. It's free; all members have to do is read her stories, comment lovingly on those stories, and point out everything she does that is fabulous. She has been resistant to taking her place as the head of our cult, but we are slowly whittling down her will to resist. 

As to the point of your post, so @wildone can't call me out on taking over the comment section as he so rightly has done in the past. Often. I seem to lack the skills necessary to stay on topic. 

Your weather boy captured my attention when he wore glasses. Without them, he's less of a nerd and gives off more of a tech bro vibe. And he's very enthusiastic about the weather, isn't he? I can't believe you got me to watch even a moment of a show dedicated to weather. I feel so old

If we're on equal ground, it will make it easier for me to trip you and rub your face in the dirt.  I need to get my mean-girl reputation cultivated a bit, 2026 may be the year. 

We're supposed to be one of the states that has a severe risk chance tonight and into tomorrow, so I probably should be watching one of the two youtube meteorologists that I sometimes watch.  It is interesting how much technology has built these platforms. Not too many years ago we were guessing what the radar is showing and waiting for slow rescans, and if you're in a radar hole, you don't get as accurate real time data. Some of these meteorologists are faster and more accurately forecasting severe weather than our NWS. And, they can live stream it with on the ground storm chasers out in the field real time. Knowing a tornado is on the ground and heading to your neighborhood because you're watching a livestream has been a fascinating watch for me. 

I do not watch this dude though.

Our local weather guy is treated like an oracle or weather god. He even has a cable channel named after him. He is not now nor has ever been cute or hunky.

No weather man for me, I guess I'm the wrong kind of nerd for that. I just get my weather predictions in non-video from the site of the people dealing with weather stuff in my country (the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere)

[wildone]

I"ve told the FO, that I don't watch all these live weather reports with chasers and live forecasting, like 'look at this cell starting to rotate to the West of the FO's house, this cell has a 90% chance of touching down as a Cat 2 tornado....'

So many people that might die or be injured, or their lives complete turned upside down with destruction  

I said it feels morbid to watch and get excited about watching  Especially when you are in a area of no issues. 

I guess that is the ostrich part of me, I want to stick my head in the ground and not know someone's prediction of what is going to happen to me or you. Yes I know that Ostriches don't stick there heads in the ground.

It is disheartening when you see the radar scan of a destructive storm approaching a town. Legitimately it does bother me and there's a helpless sort of feeling, because you know with that trajectory it 'is' going to happen and the only thing that is going to keep it from doing so is the storm itself and the conditions shifting ahead of it that sucks the energy. 

On the other side though these guys are getting popular, millions of followers. So millions of eyes on 'weather' events. The warning times by having them discussing the weather in real time, sometimes hours before your area is impacted it gives people a lot of time to prepare, tell their neighbors/family. Whereas the NWS and News affiliated meteorologists can only become the focus 'during' the event in their coverage zones as they have restrictions. These reputable people have nothing restricting them, they can live stream 12+ hours at times covering the entirety of the forecasted areas of concern, from the start of the event to the end. 

I have watched a supercell form in Eastern Texas and die in Northern Kentucky, birth to death. In that time the NWS is issuing warnings 10 to 15 minutes before impact. But these meteorologists I watch have already discussed this storm hours into its lifespan. Warning time saves lives if you've been told your area will be impacted by a certain destructive supercell that's currently in another state, the only reason you get caught out in it, is if you choose to be. Which mind you, is the flip of it. Some people actively seek out storms because of these live streams as well, that's human nature really.  

The more you learn about forecasting, weather, and meteorology, the more you can predict patterns and become less scared of the events when they do happen. I've learned to read dew points, moisture zones, fronts, CAPE, radar scans, and wind direction at different levels just by watching live streams. 

But yes, it is difficult to watch when you know people are about to be directly impacted.
