1/9/2024 0 Comments Wcco tv weatherman![]() I am one of Minnesota’s leading voices on the impacts of climate change on air and online, regularly presenting stories that connect the dots between climate, weather, air quality, health, and food and drink. A year later, with the support of CBS, the Weather Watcher Network was deployed across the corporation, nationwide. Recognizing the unique combination of Minnesotans’ civic pride and the tremendous geographic reach of WCCO, I created and built the Weather Watcher Network to gather reliable neighborhood weather information for our team, and for our viewers. This follows a three-year term as a member of the AMS Board for Private Sector Meteorologists, the final year of which I served as board chairperson.Īs Director of Meteorology at WCCO, I stand with a smart, curious, cohesive weather team that also happens to be the most-watched in Minnesota. My most recent leadership role is leading hundreds of members as the American Meteorological Society’s Commissioner on Professional Affairs. When knowledge meets experience, and a desire to give back, a leader is born - and I’m proud to call myself a leader, both in science and the community. Today, “Leader” is the adjective at the top of my bio. I am an American Meteorological Society Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (#799), as well as a Certified Consulting Meteorologist (#768). I earned a master’s degree completed original research, the findings of which are still used by the National Weather Service today and began the habit of attending conferences and learning from great forecaster-communicators like Steve LaPointe (WRGB), Bryan Busby (KMBC), John Morales (WTVJ), Maureen McCann (Spectrum News 13), Mike Nelson (KMGH), and Bernadette Woods Placky (Climate Central). When I began my career - as a baby meteorologist, over 20 years ago - I worked hard to nail the science of weather. Hey there! I’m Mike Augustyniak, and I’m all of these things and more.
