Jay covers the Weekend Edition of your WNKY AccuWeather forecast.

Jay's curiosity about weather peaked in 1999 when parts of his hometown of Clarksville, TN were destroyed by a powerful and rare January early morning F3 tornado. He enjoys the challenges of weather forecasting in South Central Kentucky along with helping to keep the public safe during severe weather.

He is currently finishing up his B.S. at Western Kentucky University in Geography with a Meteorology and Climatology emphasis. He will earn that degree and a A.S. in Meteorological Technology along with a minor in Broadcast News/Weather by the end of this year.

At Western, he was involved in the Leadership Community, manager of the WKU Storm Team, a Meteorology Lab instructor, an active member of NewsChannel12, and held various positions at WKYU-PBS. Jay interned at WSMV-NBC in Nashville where he gained valuable insight from their meteorologists. 

Now proud to call Bowling Green home, you can often find Jay running or walking Radar and his Golden Retriever, Jimmy, at one of the many local parks.
