10/29 - 4pm - The Hokey Halloween Cape Returns!

In the spirit of Halloween I wore my famous Hokey Halloween cape on-air this morning during a couple weather segments. It was really cold out there during our show, getting down to 28 degrees at the lowest point. After seeing 60 for a high in Jackson today we should bump up to near 70 by the middle of next week. A weak cold front will pass through on Monday, but that shouldn't really impact conditions much. Storms on Thursday will be our next rain chance before getting much cooler again for next weekend. Check out the video below to see the caped forecaster!



As if the cape weren't enough, a stolen SUV that police were looking for sped into the parking lot at WBBJ-TV around 4am while I was working on my forecast graphics. The suspect driving the vehicle fled on foot after attempting to find a way out. Master control, who monitors the security cameras, immediately called the police and K9 units were on the scene within minutes. All of us inside the studio and newsroom were obviously spooked because the suspect was on the loose for a few minutes as police tried to locate him. How often does breaking news come right to the door of a TV station? Wow! Check out the video below for the full story:

10/30 - 11pm - Spooky Forecast on WBBJ ABC 7!

We had our pre-Halloween episode of Good Morning West Tennessee Saturday on WBBJ ABC 7 this morning. I wore a vampire cape for both main weathercasts during the show and let me tell you that it is not easy to operate a chroma key wall with that extra fabric in the way! Forecast-wise, there's no rain in the forecast for Jackson until at least Monday and even then we're only talking about a chance. Once a warm front moves out of the region on Wednesday, rain chances should diminish and we'll be left with clear skies and cool temperatures. Check out my video from this morning below:
