I took this photo on 3/2/12 during an outbreak across the midsouth. I watched the SPC forecasters knowing that was my big dream job. It felt impossible. Today, I can say I have accepted a FireWx/MesoA position with the SPC. Oh, to go back in time and tell myself what is to come!
Congratulations to all the graduates today! The weather for the ceremony today will be more like middle summer so stay hydrated, take it easy, and enjoy this day that you've worked so hard for and deserve.
