Steve Jerve & John Winter @ News Channel 8 are very good along with Mike Clay & Alan Winfield @ Bay News 9. Also Dick Fletcher @ Channel 10 and Dennis Phillips @ Channel 28 are also very good.


Agreed, the Tampa Bay area mets are very good. Dick Fletcher is my favorite, with Steve Jerve a close second. I always picture Dick Fletcher using pencil and a paper to plot coordinates. He seems old-school, and he seems to really know what's going on.

I do watch TV mets for their take. Bob Breck with Fox 8 in New Orleans
and Mike Reader with WLOX in Gulfport/Biloxi are my two TV mets.


What about Carrie? :lol: There was one cane a couple years ago and she said this high pressure system about 1000 miles NW of it was going to pull it to the north as the high expanded eastward. :lol:
