Yesterday 2 people died due to flooding. 2 tornadoes caused damage. Unfortunately, I had to cover The Masked Singer to warn people about the dangerous conditions moving in. Here are some comments I received while on air. I will always put lives ahead of a TV show.
**Big, HAPPY news**
Tom and I are thrilled to announce we are expecting TWINS in late Spring!
It's been a long, uphill struggle with infertility (nearly 9 years) & our final attempt at family through IVF was a success!
20 weeks along & waiting to find out what we're having🥰
This is it! Last day of work before maternity leave.
37 weeks on Thu, and I’m grateful for every day. We’re “ready” (is anyone ever?)but it’s just now starting to sink in that this is happening. Thankful for this healthy pregnancy to date, carrying twins full term (38 weeks)
*BIG* week reached. 34 weeks! According to my doc, this is a milestone week for babies development, especially for twins. So thankfully for a healthy pregnancy up to this point.
Carrying 10lbs of baby right now.. keep growing, little miracles! Let’s get in a few more weeks. ❤️
I won an

for best weathercast! 🤗 I couldn’t be at the ceremony this past weekend, so it was delivered to work today. I wouldn’t normally admit it, but I’m pretty proud of this one.

Wow!
@MTSU
video of the football trailer being blown over this afternoon. Pretty clear here, looks to be a spin up tornado but will wait for NWS confirmation as they continue to look at damage reports & video.
Wow. All for visiting a school to talk about weather. Why would anyone think it’s OK to say something like this? Just a reminder… don’t assume you know about someone else’s life. Choose kindness.
Hands full, heart full ❤️
The first few weeks have been a lot. Overwhelming and tiring, learning as we go. But wouldn’t trade this for anything. Still can’t believe this is real life now, and they are ours. 💙
Emmy award showed up today. This was for a marathon weekend of coverage from the Dec 10th-11th 2021 outbreak, which included 21 🌪s in Middle TN and the Mayfield KY 🌪
I appreciate every one of you who trust us with your weather information when it matters most.

fan I am. Its a date with the break room TV while eating dinner.
So, when the show invited me to go through the audition process today to see how real contestants do it... I jumped at the chance!
What a COOL experience!
Wow!

says a gustnado formed E of BNA on I-40 as severe storms rolled through. A Gustnado is a brief whirlwind that forms on the leading edge of a storm. We usually don't get them b/c we're too wet & can't see the dust. Harmless, but spooky📹:Chris Jolly KD4BNS
Tantrums, spit up and dirty diapers. Oh my! Happy Monday!
Still soaking in all the moments before returning to work at the end of August. 😊
(And still sporting the new Mom look proudly)
The twins and I decided to drop by work today to say hi to everyone ! I gave Sam and Evan a tour of the place where mama talks about weather all day 😁
I’ll be back to work Aug 28th. See you then!

Officer Rex Englebert and Officer Michael Collazo confronted and shot and killed the person behind the Covenant School shooting. MNPD says they didn’t hesitate to enter the school.
*NOTICE* The Weather Complaint Department will be closed through Wednesday. Cold weather fans got their snow ❄️ last week... now the warm weather fans get their ☀️& 65° the next few days. I’ll just be here taking it easy for now 😎

What a GREAT picture, captured by one of our viewers, Maria. Her caption: "Headed into night shift at CMC ER soon and my husband captured this photo of me on the walking bridge right as the Blue Angels flew over to salute to healthcare workers!"

Guess I needed break from the Nashville heat... I decided to take a vacation to the Grand Canyon... and it snowed today! Getting my last winter weather fix, so I’ll be off social media for a couple days.

For perspective... this photo was taken in northern Middle TN last year during an observed (G4) severe geomagnetic storm. Not saying it'll happen again tonight, but here's what's possible. (and if the clouds cooperate)

Had the glucose test. To quote one of my favorite characters Ren (from Ren and Stimpy) “That’s some icky tasting stuff!” 😂 Didn’t mind though. When you’ve waited so long for your babies, you’ll move mountains for them. If that means drinking the juice, I’ll drink the juice.
My quest to visit all 50 states continues! I’m in Boston for the week at a weather conference, and had some free time this afternoon. Hello from Providence, RI! Rhode Island makes 47 states. Almost to 50!
So proud of my mentee Preston. I was part of a judging panel for his thesis defense today at Central Magnet School in Murfreesboro. He’s been working on this throughout senior year, discussing an uptick in tornadoes in the Southeast. Way to go, Preston!
Starting the new year right! My goal was to run a half marathon the first weekend of the year. No race, no cheering section, no medal. Just me!
Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to something. 13.1 miles ✅
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun has sent a burst of energy towards Earth.
Translation: The northern lights could extend as far south as the TN/AL state line TONIGHT. It won't be vibrant like pictures you see, but could bring a green tint to the sky

Husband and I went to the mall this morning to check out a dresser for nursery (🥰)
After we were done, we decided to "walk a lap" around the mall for a little exercise. We've apparently reached that age.
Hi Friends! I’m so thankful to get a full WEEK with my family for Christmas. (It really is a Christmas miracle!) So, I will be away from social media for a bit.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. See you on the TV next Monday, the 30th!
Merry Christmas!

Also feel like I could single handily bring back 80s shoulder pads fashion in this jersey 😅
A little over a month ago we moved into our new home. Haven’t figured out what to do with the basement yet, but never thought I would be using it as an at home studio. Now able to go live from home. ...and I’ve got a weather helper.

Finishing a 12 day work week tonight. Two holidays & the Christmas bombing...It’s been a long few weeks. While I’m SO ready for the weekend, I’m happy (and blessed) to be starting the new year doing what I love to do!
