When every Met. here in the NO area, NHC, and all over the South called for a Gal./Houston landfall (including JB), Brad called for a SW LA. landfall days before Rita hit. WWL-TV borrowed him from NC. Sure wish he would stay in New Orleans.

It would be interesting to know what his meteorological reasoning for that track was.

I agree! He really has been nailing the locations/patterns of these storms. I wish he would stay around.

From what I have seen of the WWL forum discussions, he has become an icon there. Also, he interacts dircetly with the members of the forum.

Ditto on the kudos for Brad Panovich.

I have been following both his on-air reports and WWLtv.com posts since he returned for Katrina while John Gumm was busy with the birth of his child and his family's subsequent evacuation. With Rita in particular, Brad gave the early heads-up to any of us in Louisiana fortunate enough to read his posts that we were going to be in for much more than the current NHC track forecasts and conventional wisdom in the news media were indicating. He came through when it really mattered.

Thanks Brad, and if WWL can swing it, please...COME HOME!

This call wasn't anything new. Before he left WWL a couple years ago he nailed Lili's New Iberia track before anyone else, and not to mention countless others. It's not just the models and the NHC track when it comes to his personal ideas. He is the best OCM I have come across.

Great Job BRAD PANOVICH!!!
