This guy is probably the worst meteorologist I've ever watched. He was the one calling for no snow last winter and calling out other area meteorologists for their hyperbole...when it did start snowing he's on the radio screaming it won't stick...by that night WBRZ is running promos about being the first to call the snow event.

Last week he barely mentioned the weather event on Saturday, dismissed it as a line of passing showers with storm here and there. This morning he's acknowledging the chance of severe weather tomorrow but says "fortunately it's just a one day event". What the frick does a one day event have to do with anything? Guy needs to get the hell off TV

I think his mission is to let everyone know he is a “Dr”.

Yeah I forgot to add how he strongly emphasizes the Dr part of his name...and you can tell he's cried about others in the studio referring to him as Dr.

My favorite BR meteorologist is probably the Gunk because I like saying his name...the best meteorologist is Steve Caparotta.who btw is a Dr as well but doesn't take himself too serious

Maybe change the channel? You don’t even have to get off the couch anymore to do it.

The entire WBRZ weather department is a joke. But he is the worst, by far.

Also, I read the first sentence of your post, stopped reading, upvoted, and then went back and read the rest of the post. Turns out the rest of the post I agreed with as well.

Judging from your lone downvote, I'm guessing the good Dr is all up in this thread

Well it didn’t snow last winter so I guess he was right.

He posts in here, so does a majority of the news staff. They get their “breaking” news from here a majority of the time. Their “reporters” are pathetic.

Minus Chris Nakamoto. Baw has my respect.

Nobody really watches the local news anymore esp for weather information. I imagine that has dropped the creditials and credibility a bit.

I don't need a Dr. To read computer models.

They need to promote Bess Casserleigh or Jordan Whittington to weather

We had one in Little Rock years ago predict "a 70% probability of 50% snow." I shite you not.

Snowed like a sumbitch.

Cmon man. Show some respect. Meteorology school is another 4 years to become a doctor and until you’ve been there you can’t say anything. Dr. Josh is a true Doctor of Meteorology unlike the other unlearned charlatans around here *cough* pat shingleton

His Ph.D. (2017) is not even in meteorology - the science of weather, it's in weather communication . He's no weather expert, he just knows how to talk about it.
