Story

Tom Terry

I am Channel 9's Chief Meteorologist. Growing up in rural Oklahoma, I formed a special passion for weather and have spent my life pursuing all types of weather from tornadoes to hurricanes.

All of my training and experience were used during the devastating hurricane season of 2004. Hurricane Charley brought Central Florida its first hurricane in over 40 years, and was the most intense land falling tropical system I had ever covered. But it didn't stop there as Central Florida would be hit by two more hurricanes "Frances" and "Jeanne." They just wouldn't let up on us.

When I'm not working in Severe Weather Center 9, I enjoy spending time at home with my wife Selina and children Ryan and Kaitlyn. I also like to work on my Mustang and collect old horror movies.

I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Meteorology and I hold the "Seal of Approval" from the American Meteorological Society.

Detailed Forecast

Ben Smith
The latest forecast from Severe Weather Center 9 Meteorologist Ben Smith.
Meteorologist Profile

The breezy conditions will stay with us and turn windier as Ida approaches us this week. Ida will be a player in our forecast, but not in a tropical sense, thankfully. 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. The two will combine and move through here this Wednesday. This does mean windy conditions, a good chance of rain, followed by cooler weather. Keep on eye on the forecast for updates to the severity of weather the combined system will bring.

Today: Mostly sunny and continued breezy. Highs in the lower 80s. East winds at 10-20 mph.

Tonight: Partly cloudy with an occasional wind gust, 15mph, and early morning temperatures near 66.

Monday: Breezy conditions, 15-20mph, causing rough seas and dangerous beach conditions. Partly cloudy with an isolated shower. Highs into the lower 80s. Coverage 20%.
