I find it really ironic that we had several rude messages and emails yesterday during our cut-in for tornado warnings because we were overriding a fictional TV show about first responders. Meanwhile, tornadoes were actively on the ground, hurting real people close to our homes.
I wanted to share with all of you that this is my last week at WDRB. I have accepted a weekend morning meteorologist position in my hometown of Cleveland, OH at
@WEWS
! This makes me happy and sad at the same time...
Excited to share some news! I am now a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (
#823
) by the American Meteorological Society! It was so awesome to see those three letters pop up during my forecast today!

HELLO!! I am back to work after being off for more than a week! I hope you are all doing well. We have a wild forecast over the next week, so I hope you can tune into News 5 at noon and 4 pm!
@WEWS
Help me wish a very happy birthday to three of the most important people in my life! My mom and both of my sisters (born four years apart) were born on August 15th. It's so wild and fun! They were even on the news because of it! Happy Birthday Mom, Mariah and Meg!! 🎉🎂���️
It has been a busy week and I forgot to share I recently celebrated TWO years at News 5!! It truly went so fast. I love working in my hometown with very supportive coworkers, bosses and family!
@WEWS
This is so sweet
@Ginger_Zee
! I am always so proud to say I was your intern in Chicago. You have always been so supportive and a guiding light throughout my career. You are a trailblazer in our business but also incredibly kind and real. Thank you!!
Who would have known 12-13 years ago when you were my intern we would have found eachother at a
@CleGuardians
game, you rocking your hometown
@WEWS
and me popping in to throw a first pitch and do
@GMA
from Cleveland? Me. I believed in us both
@KatieMcGrawx
& I’m so proud of you.
Real story...I forgot my make up at home today. Whoops! Thankfully I always keep some nearly empty and quite old/crusty make up at work. I'm happy with how it turned out, but I also can't wait to take it off! 🤣
I may no longer live in Kentucky, but Louisville and the Derby were still in my heart today! It was a blast going live this morning at
@JACKThistledown
Racino! Will you be watching the race this evening?!
I am excited to share I was nominated for my first Emmy last week! The winner will not be announced for several weeks and the competition is stiff! However, it is truly an honor to even be in the running. Stay tuned!
Reminder: News 5 covers more than just Cleveland. Our viewing area extends from the Islands to the far east in Ashtabula and as far south as Holmes/Coshocton Counties. Tornado warnings there are just as important as ones in greater Cleveland.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLEVELAND!!! I am live this morning at the Blazing Paddles Paddlefest on the Cuyahoga River to celebrate. I'll see you throughout GMA and at 10 am!!
@WEWS
This weekend marks TEN years in my career! It is hard to believe I have been blessed to do what I love for a decade! I have met so many amazing people. I am beyond grateful for countless unforgettable experiences Thank you to everyone who has supported me! Here's to the next 10!
TGIF! I am filling in for

Today is News 5 Cleveland's 75th anniversary!! I am honored to be a small part of its amazing legacy and working for a tv station I grew up watching! Happy Birthday,

RARE SIGHT: A horseshoe vortex occurred in our area yesterday and it is one of the rarest clouds and most fascinating sights! How they are formed and why they are so unique:

Good Morning!! I am in Stormtracker 5 this morning to give updates on road conditions. As of 5:45 am, it is not too bad! BUT that will not be the case all day, especially the more north you live. I will be updating you all morning long.

It is going to be another active weekend. I am tracking rounds of storms at noon, 4, 5 and 6 on News 5! We will talk about when they are most likely and the severe potential. ⛈️
@WEWS
WILD VIDEO: This was around 6:30 pm as storms moved off of the lake. This was the live feed at the end of the 6 pm newscast at Fairport Harbor where there was a wind gust reported of 81 mph! That is comparable to a category 1 hurricane!
@MarkJWeather

Have to take a moment to laugh at myself! It was not until I got home that I realized I was rocking two different earrings all morning long. The result of getting ready in semi-darkness 🤣
Lucy is just a bonus feature!
Together but apart! It has been 4 weeks since I’ve seen
@ginaglaros

Baby is Cleveland Animal Protective League's Pet of the Week
''Home of the free, because of the brave.'' I know many Americans are hurting today. I am thinking of all the men and women who selflessly gave up their lives to protect our country. Thank you will never be enough for them or their loved ones, but I am forever grateful.
It’s National

@WEWS
from 10-11 am! 📺❄️
Yesterday's forecast...A big 'ol swing and a miss for most of the area. However, I can assure you the same effort and time goes into a busted forecast as a spot on forecast. I am always learning from every event though. On to the next forecast! I hope you can join us on GMC at 8!
An analogy to help understand severe weather! If we have all the ingredients needed later today - a watch will be issued. A warning will be issued once the cookies are done/severe storms develop. Have your plan of action ready now!
@WEWS

Happy National Girl Scout Day!! I had the privilege of hanging out with troop 70823 recently when they came for a tour of News 5. We were able to chat about weather, books, school & I learned more about the Girl Scouts!
Now I need to stock up on the cookies! 🍪🍪
