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.

Rain is moving through the area along with some gusty wind and lightning, especially north of the metro area. I'll continue tracking the rain through the evening and have an update with Early Warning Doppler 9 tonight at 10 and 11. Until then, feel free to use our interactive radar, just to the left on this screen.

This Evening: Mostly cloudy with a few showers, especially north where rainfall could be between .25-.50". Temperatures holding in the 70s.
