Cert. Broadcast Meteorologists Among Elite

Posted: 12:47 pm EDT June 22, 2007Updated: 11:13 am EDT August 6, 2008

AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist Program

The American Meteorological Society's Certified Broadcast Meteorologist Program is designed for an elite group of people who have gone through a rigorous examination by the American Meteorological Society.

The program is designed to make sure people who are given the "AMS Certified" seal have a broad understanding of the science relating to meteorology and the environment. Meteorologists with the "AMS Certified" seal have passed a very stringent written exam that thoroughly tests their ability to understand weather and forecasting.

Meteorologists with the seal have also had their on-air work reviewed by a critical team of AMS experts who rate applicants' ability to communicate the critical weather information to their audiences.

CBM meteorologists are truly among the elite in their field.

Detailed Forecast

The latest forecast from Severe Weather Center 9 Meteorologist Matt Makens.
Meteorologist Profile

The breezy conditions will stay with us and turn windier as Ida approaches us this week. Ida will move into the northern Gulf of Mexico Monday and Tuesday where she will meet with a cold front diving south, causing her to lose her tropical characteristics, but could still bring strong to severe thunderstorms into our area. What's for sure is this does mean windy conditions, a good chance of rain, followed by cooler weather, and do keep on eye on the forecast for updates to the severity of weather the combined system will bring.

Tonight: Partly cloudy and staying breezy, speeds of 10-20 mph. Early morning temperatures will be in the upper 60s and low 70s.

Monday: Windy conditions, 15-30mph, causing rough seas and dangerous beach conditions. Otherwise, partly cloudy with an isolated shower or thunderstorm. Highs will return to the lower 80s.
