The Tampa NBC affiliate WFLA has a great weatherman--Steve Jerve. No fluff, not pompous. Last year during storm season, he was just as stressed and weary as the rest of us. With deep circles under his eyes, he calmly reported the progress of the storms, went home to secure his house, then came back again.

The one thing that gets him excited is the VIPR...

I like Jerve. I don't mind Dick Fletcher either, or that Delagado fellow. Actually we have pretty good weather people all around.

Jerve's is the "new kid on the block" even though he's been around for quite a few years now. Fletcher and Delagado are old hands (and they could always bring back Roy Leep if they really needed expertise.)

Howard Shapiro is very experienced as well, I just don't like to watch him, LOL, but he does know his stuff.

He really was good. A calm voice in very uncertain times

Boy .. do I remember that .. VIPR is awesome, and Jerve is the greatest. At times he and Jennifer Hill had so much information they were getting, you had to listen really clearly to get the scoop through their crosstalk. When I was without power for days, my portable radio with TV channels was a godsend so I could listen to them.
